After 5 years of incredible work and steadfast commitment to the Know, we are saying a bittersweet goodbye to Marketing and Communications Manager & Cincinnati Fringe Festival Producer, Katie Hartman. Katie has poured her heart and soul not only into the art, but also into the community of artists, patrons, and friends that she’s made along the way. She has shaped so much of what the Know Theatre has become over the last 5 years with her creativity, kindness, and passion that will be felt here for years to come.Katie is moving on to serve as the new Marketing Director at the History Theatre in St. Paul, MN, starting this September. We are so grateful for everything she has given the Know and so very thrilled to see what’s next for her and her family on this big adventure.Thank you, Katie, for everything. Please join us in saying “Congratulations!” and “Go get ‘em”. The Twin Cities are lucky to have you back!We love you ♥️#knowtheatre #cincyfringe #cincyarts

We’re grieving the loss of our friend Liz Coley. Liz was a prolific playwright and theatre maker and we were lucky enough to have her original productions at the Cincy Fringe over the last three years: CASTAWAYS (2024), ARSENIC AND OLD SPICE (2025), and BOMB! AN FBI MEMOIR (2026). Liz loved the Fringe and we loved her right back. Generous and big-hearted, Liz was always looking out for others, whether it was the actors in her cast, the audience, or the visiting artists that she and her husband were hosting. Her work was devilishly dark. Who else would think of setting the female stars of Gilligan’s Island in a modern memory care facility? Or addressing dying with dignity by giving ‘Arsenic and Old Lace’ a contemporary update with two married men? Or a musical about the hardships of sharing a life with the FBI’s foremost terrorism expert? Liz tackled kitchen table concerns with humor and humanity. Our thoughts are with Liz’s family and friends. She is greatly missed.
