"...By Our Sisters"
The Kentucky Historical Society’s Staging Voices program brought together a committee of 10 girls from across Kentucky to prove that history is not defined by a chapter in a textbook. It is about the stories of different people from different places who all had different experiences.

The teens learned to document the past through oral histories and participated creating an original script presented by the award-winning KHS museum theatre program. The final production, performed by professional actors, contains direct quotes and composites of stories from interviewees. The play challenges the audience to continue to remember the progress that has been made, to advance the discussion about Kentucky women’s issues and to work for social change. The program was funded with a grant from the Kentucky Foundation for Women.

Skylar Brown, Bondurant Middle School, Frankfort.
Montana Daniels, Wayne County High School, Monticello.
Lindsay Diggins, Montessori High School, Lexington.
