trueLEARNING on Oct.15

trueLEARNING
Presented by trueTHEATRE
Oct. 15
Over-the-Rhine

Whether in the classroom or merely at the School of Hard Knocks, we’ve all learned a lesson somewhere. On October 15, come hear from those who’ve given and received them, including a woman who thought that living with one arm would be the hardest transition in life she would ever have to face (boy was she wrong!), a man who literally dropped out of school to join the circus, a woman who found that the only way up from bottom was through a classroom she never imagined she’d enter, and a teacher facing the same frustration all teachers face: am I reaching these kids? Plus, Reva Henderson, who made audiences bust a gut with the story of her early delivery in trueMOM, returns with the story that could be considered the first step on the very long road that got her to that point! It’s Adult Education at True Theatre. Come learn a thing or two! Note: Most shows sell out in advance.

TITUS ANDRONICUS runs Oct. 20-Nov. 11

TITUS ANDRONICUS
Presented by Cincinnati Shakespeare Company
Oct. 20-Nov. 11
Downtown

Reviews: Enquirer | CityBeat |

Directed by Jeremy Dubin

Cast: Darnell Benjamin as Aaron the Moor, Charlie Cromer as Bassianus, Travis Emery as Chiron, Jessie Wray Goodman as Martius, nurse, goth; Justin McCombs* as Saturninus, Travis McElroy as Lucius, Miranda McGee as Tamora, Sam Rabinovitz as Quintus, senator, chief goth; Maggie Lou Rader as Lavinia, Paul Riopelle* as Marcus Andronicus, Nicholas Rose* as Titus Andronicus, Zach Schute as Demetrius & Augustus Corder as Mutius, boy

One of the bloodiest plays in the canon, Titus Andronicus is full to the brim with revenge, murder, betrayal and crimes most atrocious. Titus Andronicus evokes startling, gruesome and tragic imagery as the mighty Roman general Titus faces off with his mortal enemy, Tamora, Queen of the Goths. Titus and Tamora, in a spiral of bloody revenge, trade murder for hideous murder, each more brutal than the last.
