Loving and Loving
written by Beto O'Byrne
developed with Meropi Peponides
directed by Amelia Acosta Powell

Loving and Loving is inspired by the lives of Richard and Mildred Loving, an interracial couple from Virginia who were arrested in 1958 for the crime of being married. Told from a distinctly 21st-century perspective, the play weaves together the story of the Lovings’ landmark civil rights struggle and interviews with mixed-heritage folks in the Kentuckiana community—thoughtfully exploring the joys and challenges of multiracial identity, and exuberantly celebrating our right to love who we choose.

Student & Educator Nights Every Wednesday. Discounted tickets for students and educators are available for $15 plus fees.
