Rasmussen Best of 2010

Jens Rasmussen in Skin Tight

In 2010, Cincinnati theaters continued to weather the tough economy and offer excellent productions. The year, which concluded the Cincinnati Playhouse’s 50th season and began Ensemble Theatre of Cincinnati’s 25th, ended with all our local companies intact. Know Theatre presented another successful Fringe Festival in June (the seventh annual fest) and also provided a sheltering environment for interesting new projects, especially “True Theatre,” a quarterly evening of original, personal monologues based on a theme. (The next one happens on Jan. 10.)

Here are other events from 2010 that will stick with me:

Skin Tight jump-started Know Theatre’s fall season with a burst of energy. The story of a combustible marriage was staged by Drew Fracher and featured two actors — Beth Harris, a local performer more engaged in musical pursuits than stage work for several years, and guest actor Jens Rasmussen. The 90-minute piece, as much choreography as dialogue, was gripping and lyrical.
