Experience the true story of bank robbers, FBI Agents, and six young people who made Queer Kentucky history.
Just Cause: The Story of the Lexington 6 - In 1974, two queer anti-war, bank-robbing women briefly hid out among the lesbian feminist community in Lexington, Kentucky, not revealing their identities to anyone. In the months after they left, the FBI descended on the queer community in Lexington, asking folks to give up all privacy and bonds of trust and community in the name of catching these two fugitives. Follow the story of six young people -- five lesbians and one gay man -- who made queer Kentucky history when they decided to resist this FBI harassment, even if that meant losing all feelings of safety and security, and even if it meant going before a judge and a grand jury. This new play, written by Clarity Hagan, is based on the book The Lexington Six by Josephine Donovan, as well as primary source documents.
