ANNOUNCING KNOW THEATRE’S 2025-2026 SEASON

One Person by Robert Patrick (September 12 – 28, 2025)

An audience is lured to a theatre, thinking they will see a typically amazing production from this company, but the producer has another plan in mind. They are a disguise for his true purpose, because in the crowd is the producer’s ex-lover. He reenacts their love affair from beginning to end to show the lover what has happened to them from his point of view. Can you go back? Will it ease the pain? A beautiful and poignant play.

Agnes of God by John Pielmeier (February 13 – March 1, 2026)

Summoned to a convent, Dr. Martha Livingstone, a court-appointed psychiatrist, is charged with assessing the sanity of a novice accused of murdering her newborn. Miriam Ruth, the Mother Superior, determinedly keeps young Agnes from the doctor, further arousing Livingstone’s suspicions. Who killed the infant, and who fathered the tiny victim? Livingstone’s questions force all three women to re-examine the meaning of faith and the power of love, leading to a dramatic, compelling climax.

Fool for Love by Sam Shepard (April 10 – 26, 2026)

Winner of the 1984 Obie Award for Best New American Play

Eddie and May are holed up in a dingy motel room at the edge of the Mojave Desert. Their whirlwind love brings them together and then flings them apart. Tonight is no different. Why do they keep trying, knowing the secret they share? Will tonight’s attempt be any different? The poignancy of their situation is pointed out by the play’s other two characters – a hapless young man who comes by to take May to the movies, and a ghostly old man who sits in a rocking chair. Will their love become permanent tonight or be torn apart again by the burden of their secret?

The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams (June 12 – 28, 2026)

Winner of the 1984 Obie Award for Best New American Play

One of Mr. Williams’ most iconic and deeply personal plays, often seen as an autobiographical reflection of his own life, and particularly his family dynamics. Tom Wingfield returns to St. Louis in his memory to try to resolve the guilt he feels for the choices he made concerning his sister Laura and his mother Amanda that still haunt him. The play explores themes of illusion versus reality, escapism, and the destructive nature of familial expectations, as the characters struggle to reconcile their past with the present.

Although these performances aren’t included in the season subscription, you’ll want to mark your calendar. They are not to be missed! 

22nd Annual Playwrights and Artists Festival ((Nov 21, 22, 23 and 28, 29, 30 )

(Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, All shows at 8pm)

Each year we take three works of art and ask writers to fashion a play, and musicians to compose a piece as they are moved or inspired by the artwork. We blind-read the submissions, select the best and produce them. The art is exhibited, the music shared, we perform the plays on the KNOW Theatre stage and ask the audience for feedback. It is our annual mixed media event that draws inquisitive art and theatre lovers to KNOW. $15 for one night, $40 for the whole weekend. Prizes are awarded for Artistic Merit ($200), Audience Favorite ($100), and Best of Festival ($300).
