Bainbridge Performing Arts will present a free community outreach series for “The Kentucky Cycle.”

The public series opens with a discussion with retired Bainbridge High American Studies teacher Ralph Cheadle and director Kate Carruthers at 7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 28  at the Bainbridge Public Library.

Cheadle and Carruthers will present “The Kentucky Cycle – The Dark Side of the American Dream.” The pair will discuss how the play both draws upon and illuminates 200 years of American history and mythology.

BPA will present three weekends of performances of the epic play March 12–30 at Bainbridge Performing Arts.
