LFL's Season Opener - Crowd Favorite "Class of '70"

Looking for Lilth Theatre Company kicks off their season with a revival of
one of their oft-requested original shows, Class of '70, which hasn’t been
seen in Louisville since its premiere in 2004. Class of '70 is a powerful,
fun, challenging play that celebrates the living history of women who came
of age on college campuses during the second wave of feminism in the late
60's, based on the words of the women who lived it.    During this time, a
spirit of liberation gripped the youth of America, and movements such as
the Civil Rights Movement and the protest of the war in Vietnam were
flourishing.  Women were very involved in these political movements, and
through fighting to liberate others, women began to seek liberation for
themselves. Inspired by the consciousness-raising groups of that time, who
believed in the power of sharing stories, LFL collected stories about the
exciting personal, social and political changes these women experienced.
Audiences described the show as important, awesome, excellent and
tremendous and in New York City and in Louisville they nodded their heads,
laughed so hard they almost fell out of their chairs, shook their heads
with sorrow, tapped their toes to the music and jumped to their feet at
the end! Class of '70 is once again relevant as political and social
dynamics clash with those freedoms and advances for which our mothers,
aunts, and friends stood up. Dates and location:
