2024-2025 Season

A very full season indeed, it included a remount, culminating events of 2 different projects, 3 original works, partnerships with the Louisville Free Public Library system, production of a play written by one of their company members, and their first time performing a play in which over half the actors in the ensemble were students who have participated for years in their after-school and/or summer programs. Lifecycle of a Blackberry, starring Morgan M. Younge and based on the writings of Crystal E. Wilkinson, had a remount at The Russell Theatre in the Fall of 2024. Then, the culminating event of The Ancestors Project, Because you were, I am! –  an interactive journey, was performed at the Main Branch of the Louisville Free Public Library in December 2024. Just Cause: the story of the Lexington Six, an original play written by LFL company member, Clarity Hagan, based on the true story of bank robbers, FBI agents, and six young people who made Queer Kentucky history, was performed in March at the MeX Theatre at the Kentucky Center for the Arts. The season was rounded out by a summer full of touring performances of 3 different “Routes” taken from Rachel Bublitz’s The Book Women at area public libraries.  The sharing of this play about the Packhorse Librarians of Eastern Kentucky in the 1930’s culminated in final performance of the full script at the Main Branch of the Louisville Free Public Library in August, taking LFL full circle for the season!
