In “trying times” theatre reminds us that endurance is not passive, it is creative. Through every story, we find our way forward, together.

In “trying times” theatre reminds us that endurance is not passive, it is creative. Through every story, we find our way forward, together.
Stories and storytelling take center stage this weekend as the fifth annual Cincinnati Storytelling Festival will happen Thursday, November 13 through Saturday, November 15, 2025 in their new home at Know Theatre in the heart of OTR.
Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati hosts its 14th annual Meals 4 Monologues auditions.
It is a script that raises questions that get you thinking. This is a must-see show for the more adventurous theatre-goer and for fans of Falcon Theatre.
The Madisonville neighborhood’s mixed-use boom has sparked real-world concerns about gentrification and the loss of affordable housing. To watch Clos(in)g here as I did, in this moment, adds an almost documentary layer to the experience.
If anything, Man vs. Machine makes one thing clear: great theatre will always depend on the complexity of the human heart.
The costuming is a standout—elegant, precise, and period-perfect. Each character’s wardrobe reflects both class and personality, from Ruth’s polished sophistication to Elvira’s ethereal shimmer.
…a law which is being discussed which would limit the number of words anyone could speak to 141 per day…
This production, directed by Emily N. Wells, explores the nature of predators and reimagines the story as a brilliant, unsettling, darkly comedic drama.
The actors know what they are doing and commit to the horror, humor, and absurdity…
At the Wedding…has a strong lead and supporting cast.
Brimming with camp and raucous theatricality, this production owns its absurdity and delivers pure, communal joy with unwavering commitment.
‘Ghost Stunters’ is one of the many great shows I have seen or will see at Know Theatre Cincinnati’s spooky and fun-filled OctKNOWber Nights series.
Go see this show! It features great laughs and witty writing. (But never try to emulate anything these people do at a wedding!)
The Lightning Thief is filled with excellent ensemble moments. The blending of voices across the company is divine, and the precision of dance and motion is a true delight.
The Lightning Thief The Percy Jackson Musical is a must see for fans of any form of the story.
