Get Into THE FIGHT At Know Theatre This Season

In its 2018-2019 season, the Know Theatre stared down our fears with our season-long theme of "Fear Itself." When faced with darkness, what can we do but keep up the fight? We stand together as we unveil our theme for the coming season: "The Fight."

In the 2019-2020 season, we invite you to stand alongside us as we fight for ourselves, for our family, for our friends, for the world. We take control. We fight for the future. We find our magic, chase the light, and heal our wounds. We fight for truth. We fight to Know.

Welcome to the Know's twenty-second MainStage Season:

Girl in the Red Corner by Stephen Spotswood

Directed by Tamara Winters

Unemployed, fresh off a dead-end marriage, and searching for a way to take control of her life, Halo walks into a gym and signs up for mixed martial arts lessons. Her trainer thinks she's a light-weight. Her mother and sister think it's just plain weird. Very quickly the lessons she learns in the ring bleed into the rest of her life and Halo finds herself battling against everyone around her.

As she prepares for her first match, Halo realizes that life inside the cage and outside the cage are disturbingly similar. And that the only way to survive either is to fight.
