Rosie O’Donnell’s acclaimed one-woman show COMMON KNOWLEDGE ✨ Friday June 26 and Saturday June 27 at the historic Ojai Playhouse. Tickets on sale Wednesday at 12pm (link in bio).
Following sold-out performances at Dublin’s iconic Olympia Theatre and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and an international run that included an Australian tour to the Sydney Opera House and Melbourne in October 2025, followed by performances across Ireland and Glasgow in March 2026, multiple Emmy Award winner Rosie O’Donnell brings her show Common Knowledge to Ojai. It’s her first new stage show in almost a decade. Witty, personal, and sharply observed, Common Knowledge is a richly told hour that balances big laughs with deep insight. Now living in Dublin, Rosie shares unfiltered reflections on her childhood, the death of her mother, mothering while motherless, leaving the US, raising, and learning from her fiercely bright youngest child, Clay, and adjusting to a new yet familiar culture. Rosie’s decades-long career spans film, television, and theatre, from A League of Their Own and Sleepless in Seattle to her long-running talk show and, more recently, starring in Smilf, I Know This Much is True and American Giglio. A long-time advocate and cultural icon, Rosie brings humor, presence, and an unflinchingly direct voice to the stage. Critics in Dublin and Edinburgh on Common Knowledge:

– The Scotsman ★★★★
