What I Thought I Knew is a dark comedy, performed by one actress playing 40 roles. The play grapples with complex issues - including women's reproductive rights and our country's healthcare system - in a deeply personal and non-polemical way. A riveting odyssey through doubt, a broken medical system, and the complex terrain of motherhood and parenting, What I Thought I Knew is adapted from Cohen's acclaimed memoir - one of Oprah Magazine's "25 Best Books of Summer" and winner of Elle Lettres Grand Prix for Nonfiction. Written and performed by Alice Eve Cohen and directed by Elizabeth Margid. An eclectic musician who has appeared internationally as a pianist, composer and bandleader since 1975, Armen Donelian has worked with jazz luminaries including Sonny Rollins, Mongo Santamaria and Chet Baker. Donelian's piano playing reveals a masterful command rooted in classical and jazz studies, clean articulation, a deft, swinging touch, access to a broad dynamic spectrum, a virtuosic harmonic vocabulary and a boundless source of creative ideas. At HOH, Donelian performs with David Clark on bass and George Schuller on drums. The DownTown Ensemble returns to HOH with a program featuring works by poets George Quasha and Jackson Mac Low and performances by members of the DT Ensemble.
