Tacoma Little Theatre Presents Amanda Knox: CARTWHEEL
2026-07-28 19:30 - 20:30 (America/Vancouver) | Tacoma Little Theatre, 201 N I St., Tacoma, WA, 98403, United States
Ahead of her Edinburgh Festival Fringe debut in August, Amanda Knox is bringing her first full hour to the Tacoma Little Theatre with a striking new one-woman show told with unflinching honesty and humour.
Amanda Knox is approaching forty, juggling motherhood, and facing an existential crisis: what if she peaked at wrongful imprisonment? How is she going to explain it all to her daughter, who’s already asking to hear the story of “Mama Goes To Italy”? And can she protect her from, well, everything, knowing her own mother couldn’t protect her no matter how hard she tried?
Her perspective as a mother brings emotional depth, confronting the reality that she cannot protect her daughter from everything, just as no one could protect her. The result is a show that is as thought provoking as it is darkly funny, offering audiences a rare insight into life after her 20’s and the search for meaning beyond it.
Amanda Knox is rapidly emerging as a distinctive new comedic voice. Her work examines how we transform ourselves and find purpose on the other side of extraordinary experiences, delivered with clarity, intelligence and disarming openness.
Amanda Knox is an author, journalist and exoneree who has transformed global notoriety into bold, boundary pushing storytelling. After spending four years in an Italian prison for a crime she did not commit, she reclaimed her narrative through her writing, television and film projects, her memoir Free: My Search for Meaning, and her podcast Hard Knox.
This debut Fringe hour marks a significant new chapter in Amanda Knox’s creative career, bringing a singular voice to the stage with a show that is both intimate and expansive in its exploration of identity, resilience and reinvention.
