This sweeping epic of three families in eastern Kentucky spans 200 years of American history from 1775 to 1975. Fast-paced and finely drawn, Schenkkan's stunning cycle examines the myths of the American past that have created, for better or for worse, the country we are today using nine individual stories to trace the last 200 years through the saga of the Rowens, a fictional clan that scrapes and schemes to keep its hold on land it originally acquired by duping Cherokee Indians out of the their hunting ground. The cycle is epic in style when the plays are performed together, yet each individual play tells a powerful story on its own.\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHistory is more than a static recitation of facts. By telling a story that covers 200 years, playwright Robert Schenkkan allows the audience to clearly see how facts become lost in the telling of our individual and collective histories. The Kentucky Cycle invokes such themes as violence and its role in shaping American History, “The American Dream, the reframing of American History into positive myth, personal integrity vs. greed, and the myth of the “unlimited” American Frontier. The Kentucky Cycle reveals how powerful myths are created from folk tales. Folk tales, which themselves do not rest on fact, but more on the identity of the story teller, and his or her agenda, fears, and character. These myths are more than romantic stories told around the campfire. They profoundly influence the present and shape our future.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Kentucky Cycle is the first play in the 76-year history of the Pulitzer Prize to win without first staging a New York production.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTHE CAST\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cimg style=\"margin-top: 6px; margin-right: 6px; margin-bottom: 6px; float: left;\" src=\"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0152\/6355\/files\/1Ted_compact.jpeg?2068\" \/\u003eTED DOWLING as Michael Rowen, Ezekiel Rowen, and Joshua Rowen, ROBERT BERGIN as Patrick Rowen, EVA JANE as Morning Star and Lana Toller, ANDY BUFFELEN as Richard Talbert and Sam, LAURA BANNISTER as Mary Anne Rowen and Rebecca Talbert, AUSTIN BENNETT as Tommy Jackson and Zach Rowen, RICKY COATES as JT Wells and Scotty Rowen, JIM ANDERSON as Judge Jim Goddard, ELENA FLORY-BARNES as Sallie and Sureta Biggs, BRACE EVANS as Jessie Biggs, Cassius Biggs, and Franklin Biggs, \u003cimg style=\"margin-top: 6px; margin-left: 6px; margin-bottom: 6px; float: right;\" src=\"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0152\/6355\/files\/1Tim_compact.jpeg?2069\" \/\u003eBILLY GLEESON as Jed Rowen and Earl Tod, TIM DAVIDSON as Jeremiah, SAM MCJUNKIN as Dragging Canoe, William Clarke Quantrill, and Abe Steinman, LUCIEN CARRO as Randall Talbert, JENNIFER PIPPIN MONTANEZ as Margaret Rowen and Lallie Rowen, DEBBI LESTER as Mary Anne Rowen and Joleen Rowen, \u003cimg style=\"margin-top: 6px; margin-right: 6px; margin-bottom: 6px; float: left;\" src=\"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0152\/6355\/files\/1Debbi_compact.jpeg?2070\" \/\u003eDIANE WALKER as Mother Jones, FRED SAAS as Joe Talbert, JACKIE MCVAY as Rose Anne Talbert, RENEE MESSINGER as Julie Anne Talbert, JOSH MOFF as Joshua Rowen Jackson, NATHAN WHITEHOUSE as Zeke Rowen, and PETER DENIS as Thomas Nolan and Calvin Hayes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0152\/6355\/files\/The_Kentucky_Cycle_Genealogical_Chart.pdf?2071\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eView The Kentucky Cycle Genealogical Chart.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePictured: THE ROWEN FAMILY; (left to right) Eva Jane, Austin Bennett, Debbi Lester, Robert Bergin, Nathan Whitehouse, Josh Moff, Ted Dowling, Billy Gleeson, Jennifer Pippin Montanez, Ricky Coates; Ted Dowling as Michael Rowen; Tim Davidson as Jeremiah; and Debbi Lester as Mary Anne Rowen.
