Know Theatre of Cincinnati: 2006-07 Season
With the paint barely dry on the group's new digs at 1120 Jackson Street in Over the Rhine, Know Theatre Tribe has enacted another change in announcing its ninth season: A new name.
They've dropped the Tribe and replaced it with the name of the city.
"To highlight our commitment to this community, we have changed our name from Know Theatre Tribe to Know Theatre of Cincinnati," said founder and executive director Jay B. Kalagayan.
“Our new name more accurately describes our resident company: we strive to be a cutting-edge theatrical force and a major part of the creative ecology of our region, and our commitment to this city is strong,” he said.
