"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 a new, original, primary source-based musical, YOUR HANDS ARE THE ROAD: A Ride Upon the Stage through Queer American Historyand facilitated in collaboration with Houses on the Moon Theater Company.


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 while contributing to the final stages of the musical's creative development! Email [email protected] to request a virtual meeting to learn more.
