trueSPIRIT
trueTHEATRE
Oct. 29
Memorial Hall [Over-the-Rhine]

Sponsored by Rhinegeist, where they describe their operation as “crafting with spirit” – We’re ROOTING for you to make it to the show, where you’ll hear from a man who has seen what happens if you allow the bad spirits in and a woman desperate to pass her culture on to her children (spirits and all). You’ll hear from a man who found his spirit animal while on retreat and another who made a request of the Holy Spirit at a very low moment in his life. All that and Molly Wellman joins us with a story about how the development of her own gin line (another way to use the word “spirits”!) is a love letter to Cincinnati. You’ll CHEER (and be moved) by all of these spirited stories.

trueLOVE
trueTHEATRE
Jan. 22
Memorial Hall [Over-the-Rhine]

The “love” is in quotes in the title because these stories are about NON-romantic love… Selfless, unconditional love, often with repercussions that spread beyond the main figures in each story.

trueMAGIC
trueTHEATRE
April 24
Memorial Hall [Over-the-Rhine]

Abracadabra, true stories centered around a long-awaited theme… MAGIC! Join us to hear from a man who idolized a famous magician, another who struggled to be one (but secretly wanted to be something else), a woman whose interest in magical things made her lonely, a man who thinks his daughter might have some magical talents, and a man who will never forget a certain party that he was hired to be a magician for. All this and a chance to win some swag as True Theatre returns for their spring performance, “trueMAGIC”!

This show will be ASL interpreted thanks to Cincinnati State and their ASL Interpreter Training Program.
