2014-2015 Season

After years of working with their Guatemalan sisters through the Faith Stories Project, LFL created a short play to share that experience with Louisville audiences in the form of UnCaged/Desenjauladas, which they performed at the Slant Culture Theatre Festival at the Commonwealth Theatre Center. Shortly thereafter, they had their very first visit to Louisville from their colleagues of Colectivo Teatral Historias de Fe to Louisville, all the way from Guatemala! This landmark event in their Faith Stories Project was years in the making and was incredibly moving for all involved.  Along with visiting and working with LFL in Louisville, they also visited FSP participants in Virginia. This season, LFL also produced two scripted works, both with Kentucky roots. At Bellarmine University in March, they presented Arlene Hutton's As It Is In Heaven, in which the religious community of 1830's Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill, Kentucky, is changed when a non-believer has an ecstatic experience. They brought an excerpt to Shaker Village and performed it in the Shaker Meeting Hall there. They finished off the production season with a Theatre of the Absurd inspired exploration of gender, Sidewinders, by queer Kentucky playwright Basil Kreimendahl. They rounded out the season nicely with a busy summer of Drama Camps. In particular, this summer saw the birth of GirlSpeak, an extended Drama Camp experience focused on Middle School and High School girls and young women.
