"The Past Is Always Present" Interdisciplinary Residency
This after-school initiative is a 10-week residency for high school students that bridges the arts and US History education. The programming is anchored in content from our UnErasing LGBTQ History and Identities podcast (see below) and scenes from a new, original, primary source-based musical, YOUR HANDS ARE THE ROAD: A Ride Upon the Stage through Queer American History.
The musical follows Phoenix, a teenager navigating a tumultuous time, who stumbles upon the original AI — Ancestor Intelligence — and takes a wild ride whipping through the past alongside Charley Parkhurst, a legendary stagecoach driver from the Gold Rush.
"The Past Is Always Present" residency gives students meaningful opportunities to learn, contribute ideas for the musical's final scene, and produce an episode for our Youth Equity Podcast!
