FEAST Runs Aug. 7-Sept. 20

KTC_Feast promoFEAST
Know Theatre of Cincinnati
Aug. 7-Sept. 20
[Online]

Written by Megan Gogerty
Directed by Tamara Winters

Cast: Jennifer Joplin as Agathae

You are cordially invited to break bread, virtually, with one of the seminal monsters of literature: Grendel’s Mother, from the Anglo-Saxon epic, Beowulf. Share in her hard won victories and shattering griefs. Turn your collective gaze upon the wreckage of the 21st century, and find what it takes to maybe build a better world. And have a little treat. You deserve it.

FEAST. is an uncompromisingly brash reflection on devotion, grief, and the communal responsibility to stoke the fires of revolution. It’s a bold mash-up of a classical story with bracing modernity, painting a world where mythology comes crashing into pop culture.

PIROUETTE
Part of the Cincinnati Lab Theatre Remote New Works Festival
Aug. 9
[Zoom]

Written by Chris Holbrook
Directed by Aaron Epstein

Cast: Torie Pate Perdue as Judith, Rachael Maye Aronoff as Giselle, David Derringer as Ruppert, Jeremy Cox as Oscar & Stage directions by Jeremy Cox

Pirouette is a comedy about memory, transitions and a life in the arts. Giselle is a dancer who is looking at life after dance. Judith is her sister who has already stopped dancing. When they run into a man they haven’t seen in years, it throws out of balance who and what they know about each other and their lives. As their memories of events clash, they each have to find a way to come together.

SHIRT. BROWN. HONESTY.
Part of the Cincinnati Lab Theatre Remote New Works Festival
Aug. 8
[Zoom]

Written by Jason Podplesky
Directed by Elizabeth a. Harris

Cast: Karen O’Brien as Woman, Eric Kilpatrick as Man, Josh Alan as White Coat & Stage Directions by Abby Palen

Part physical theater, part absurdist drama, and part stand-up comedy routine, this is the story of a woman who overcomes a serious physical trauma all while trying to negotiate the pitfalls of the American Health Care System and a romantic relationship. Through barriers to her physical state she must learn to speak, eat, walk, and love all over again in this raw, poetic, and inspiring piece of theatre.
