For the first time ever, ALT is bringing together students from up to ten schools for a weekend of original theatre in downtown Cincinnati. Each play is written, designed, and performed by young artists through ALT’s Students Create Change program—our flagship initiative that empowers students to use the stage to tackle the issues they care about most.
Kennen Butler’s bold new musical that blends joy, love, and Black resilience with a sharp look at gentrification and code-switching.
