Our industry was one of the first to shut down wit

Our industry was one of the first to shut down with the onset of the pandemic, and will be one of the last to return. Today we stand in solidarity with the rest of our industry, lighting our building in Red to signal a Red Alert for all those unemployed due to COVID-19. Contact YOUR members of Congress and urges them to pass the RESTART Act and extend PUA and FPUC. @wemakeeventsnorthamerica #wemakeevents #Cincinnati #redalertrestart #extendpua #thisisotr #cincyarts

Repost from Associate Artistic Director Tamara Win

Repost from Associate Artistic Director Tamara Winters (aka @tamaraneo!):
‐-------------
This is what a rehearsal looks like, right now.
But though we rehearse this thing over Zoom, there is WAY more too #feastatKnow than that.

If I'm being honest, when we started taking about a digital start to the season, I wasn't sure i was going to be able to create something for a screen that was up to our @knowtheatre standards of theatricality. I wasn't sure I had the chops to earn your attention and keep you on the edge of your seat the way you deserve.

But then I got my hands on @megan.gogerty's script.
And then we landed @mamazonstage as our actor. (SCORE!)

And if this morning's run is any indication, folks: Hold onto your butts. 😁

And hey - for once, you're not bound by geography! You domt have to be in Cincinnati to get a piece of this action. You just need an internet connection.

So. Even if you're skeptical of digital theatre - hell, maybe ESPECIALLY if you're skeptical! - take a chance on this one.

(And opt, if you can, for the "party favor" option and we'll send you something special to enjoy during the performance. You deserve it.)

Let's do this. Link in bio!

In solidarity with the protesters downtown, the Kn

In solidarity with the protesters downtown, the Know Theatre is operating a hydration station in front of our theatre at 1120 Jackson St between Central and 12th. We’re offering bottled water, packaged snacks, a power source for charging devices, and wi-fi, all free of charge. We’ll be here until an hour before curfew tonight, and we plan to operate the station on future days of public protest as well. #cincinnati #thisisotr #blackouttuesday #communityaction
