2012 Cincinnati Fringe Festival Announcement Party

Maybe it’s just us, but the recent weather has really got us anxious for May 29th to roll around and for the 2012 Cincinnati Fringe Festival to officially kick off. Shorts and Fringe t-shirts, sweat and theatre. Doesn’t that sound wonderful? Well, fear not, because you won’t have to wait the full two months to get a delicious dose of Fringe-tastic entertainment!

On Wednesday, April 18th, Know Theatre will host the 2012 Cincy Fringe Announcement Party! You’ll not only have an opportunity to eat, drink, be merry, and peruse this year’s amazing line-up, but will also have a chance to catch a performance of 2008 Fringe Veteran Torrie Wiggin’s YOUR NEGRO TOUR GUIDE. While the announcement portion of the evening is free and open to the public, you’ll have to purchase tickets for Torrie’s show – so grab them soon! As with all Cincy Fringe productions, tickets are only $12 with 50% of proceeds going directly to the artist!

So what are you waiting for?!? Oh, right…April 18th. Tell all your friends about the announcement party. Then sit and wait patiently for a few more weeks. We know you can do it. We have only the utmost faith in you. ♥!

Happy Fringing!

THUNDER KNOCKING ON THE DOOR
Presented by Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park

Once upon a time, a mysterious, blues-playing stranger named Marvell Thunder arrives at the door of the Dupree family with a unique challenge — a “cutting contest,” in which twin guitars are the weapons of choice. If he has his way, the epic musical showdown will change everyone’s life forever. A mystical, magical celebration of love, family and the exhilarating power of music to free your soul. THUNDER KNOCKING ON THE DOOR is suitable for adults and children age 13 and older. It contains mild adult language.
