Heavier Than... by Steve Yockey

Heavier Than... by Steve Yockey

Presented by Know Theatre of Cincinnati at Know Theatre

Regional Premiere
March 10 - April 1, 2017

This darkly comic mash-up of Greek myth unfolds in the heart of a labyrinth where Aster the Minotaur contemplates turning 30 in a world that sees him as nothing more than a murderous oddity.

Aster has to navigate the impending arrival of warriors out to kill him, a deceptively enticing chorus of Fates, a plotting sister, and Icarus, a sexually obsessed boy with wings, all while pining to see his estranged Mother.

Steve Yockey, author of 2014’s Pluto and 2016’s The Fisherman’s Wife, uses a wry dry wit, lyric text, and legend to tell a painfully funny and moving story about the families we yearn for versus the families we have.

Know is proud to present the second professional production of this evocative play, first produced by the Theatre @ Boston Court.

Admission Info

ArtsPass holders: buy one, get one free tickets.

 

Know Theatre strives to structure our ticket pricing in a way that makes theatre accessible to everyone who wants to see a show. And we’re switching to a new online box office that makes it easier than ever to manage tickets on your own time, outside of our normal box office hours.

Here’s the breakdown.

Mainstage Tickets: $25

Guarantee a reserved seat for most of our Mainstage Productions for just a couple bucks more than it would cost to see a 3D Imax Showing of Godzilla. Added bonus: our popcorn is cheaper!

Rush Tickets: $15

If you’re short on funds, arrive an hour before show time to get on our waiting list. If there’s a seat available 15 minutes before the show starts, we’ll sell you a ticket for $15. Just promise us that if you like the show, you’ll tell fifteen friends.

6 ticket Flex-pass: $110

For the frugally minded who want to plan ahead: you can get a flex pass that allows you to reserve seats for performances at the low-low price of $18.33 a ticket. Such deal! So much wow.

Second Stage/Presented Events/Fringe Encores Tickets: $15

Sometimes we do shows outside of our MainStage programming, usually on the cabaret stage in our bar, the Underground, but sometimes in other locations. And we also present shows by partner organizations on our stage. And each year we bring back some favorite shows from the Fringe to do Encores! Get tickets to those events for $15.

Membership: $250/year

We know you love theatre. But if you really love theatre, here’s a fantastic way to support us, and get some great benefits. Our membership program is part traditional subscription, part NPR style sustaining membership, and all awesome. Find out more HERE.

 

Exchange/Refund policy: 

While we do our best to accommodate ticket exchanges (We understand! Life happens!) we cannot guarantee any exchanges and we are unable to offer refunds on tickets sold.
