THREADS OF OUR HISTORY

THREADS OF OUR HISTORY: Where We Intertwine explores the social justice past and present of Louisville, KY through the lens of one family and those intertwined with it across multiple generations. The play unfolds in a series of vignettes, each written by a different student or group of students focusing on an array of topics: from race-based oppression and protest, to ableism, to mental health, to the LGBTQ+ community and adoption, to generational trauma and healing.  

Journeying into Louisville’s rich cultural history with scenes on Black Walnut Street and at the Kentucky Derby, the play is also a window into students’ lives today, as they strive for justice and compassion in their own journeys.
