Join us for a live webinar featuring historian and author Dr. Stephen Aron, Executive Director of the Autry Museum of the American West, as we examine Kentucky's unique frontier story and the role our state played in America’s Revolutionary War story.

Hosted by GRAC Special Projects Manager, Anna Kline, we will venture into 1700s Kentucky where settlers balanced the ideals of independence with the harsh realities of survival and conflict, and worked to build new lives for themselves in the west before the Commonwealth was granted statehood in 1792.

The Jerry Orbach Theater, NYC

New York City, meet Ruth Hunt Candies!

The Sweet Life: The Ruth Hunt Story is coming to the Jerry Orbach Theater for a special New York industry workshop performance. This is a rare chance to be in the room with theatre professionals, investors, theatrical publishers, and invited guests as Cat Goguen’s bold new American play takes a major step forward in an Off-Broadway house.

At the center of it all is Ruth Hunt: a Kentucky woman whose grit, force, heart, and spirit shine like the sun. The Sweet Life is an everytown story with unique theatrical prowess, full of ambition, resilience, humor, and the kind of Small Town USA story we can all relate to that lingers long after the lights go down.
