| Join us! September 11-13 at Louisville Visual Art (outdoors in the green space), 1538 Lytle Street, Louisville, KY 40203
Show begins at 7 p.m. and doors open at 6:30 p.m. Tickets available on a sliding scale from $12-$24 at thechambertheatre.org.
Questions? For further details and group rates, please contact thechambertheatre@gmail.com. Greek playwright Euripides’ famed female survivors of The Trojan Women are re-imagined in the hills of Harlan, Kentucky, during the “little coal wars” of the 1930s, when miners and union organizers fought the unjust coal bosses for nearly a decade. The Harlan Women depicts the strength and resolve of the women of Eastern Kentucky, and their role in fighting for justice for their families and in the end, themselves, a universal theme whether depicted in ancient Greece or early 20th century Harlan, Kentucky.
Featuring well-known protest songs from the era such as “Which Side Are You On”, “We Shall Not Be Moved”, and “Bread and Roses” audiences will be singing along. Get your tickets TODAY! |
