Know Theatre Welcomes Back THE LEGEND OF WHITE WOMAN CREEK For Fringe Encore March 13 & 14

KNOW THEATRE welcomes back
THE LEGEND OF WHITE WOMAN CREEK for Cincy Fringe Encore Performances!

The ghost of Anna Morgan Faber will be summoned
to perform her thirteen­-song cycle on March 13th and 14th.

CFF_The Legend of White Woman CreekTHE LEGEND OF WHITE WOMAN CREEK is a presentation for lovers of music, ghost stories, and the North American West, a tale told from the perspective of a spirit who cannot rest until she sings the record straight. Created by The Coldharts (Katie Hartman and Nick Ryan), THE LEGEND OF WHITE WOMAN CREEK is a one­ woman music ­theater piece inspired by a ghost story from Western Kansas. It weaves a narrative through thirteen original folk songs based on the traditional music that first inspired Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, and Joan Baez. With only her guitar and powerful voice, Katie evokes the desolation of the Kansas plains, the oppressive times, the brutal conflict between two warring people, and the small joys one manages to find amidst such turmoil.

THE LEGEND OF WHITE WOMAN CREEK appeared at the 2014 Cincinnati Fringe Festival and captivated audiences in the basement of MOTR Pub on Main Street. Know Theatre and the Cincy Fringe are thrilled and delighted to welcome back this talented group from New York City and invite you to join us and experience this truly one-of-a-kind performance. This will mark the 76th and 77th performance of The Legend of White Woman Creek. The piece premiered at the 2012 Twin Cities Horror Festival in Minneapolis and has been performed across the United States and Canada, including other Fringe Festivals in New York City, Toronto, Winnipeg, Edmonton, and Vancouver.
