Jan. 23
Memorial Hall [Over-the-Rhine]

True Theatre continues its 15th season with five true, personal stories about the funny papers, graphic novels, and comics which have had an impact on the lives of our tellers.

Hear from two men who created graphic novels (one for whom the experience was one of the most impactful he’s had in his life and the other for whom the experience was nearly lethal), a woman whose life was saved, possibly, by comic strip character come to life and a man who has carried a scar for decades as a result of his involvement with another such character, and a man with a secret identity.

Also, there may be an appearance by a Marvel character you can have your picture taken with!

PRIMARY TRUST Runs Feb. 1-23

PRIMARY TRUST
Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park
Feb. 1-23
The Rouse Theatre [Eden Park]

Directed by Timothy Douglas

Winner of the 2024 Pulitzer Prize for Drama! Written with profound affection for the hero at its center, Primary Trust is an achingly beautiful, modern-day tale that will restore your faith in others. Meet Kenneth, a shy, Black 38-year-old man who sells books by day and drinks mai tais with his best friend Bert by night. When Kenneth is suddenly laid off from his job, the walls of his comfortable, predictable life start to crumble. The transformation gives way to remarkable revelations as Kenneth finds kindness and friendship in unlikely places. Hailed by critics as “utterly absorbing” (The Daily Beast) and “wonderfully vivid” (The New York Times), this recent off-Broadway hit paints a heartening portrait of a life that’s far from simple. Recommended for teenage and adult audiences.
