The Pedigrews are free people of color, a unique position in their antebellum Kentucky community of 1843. While one brother strives to open a shoe business and create a successful life for his family, the other risks it all to help slaves escape. When a fugitive comes knocking, the brothers’ freedom, loyalty and dreams for the future are given the ultimate test. Inspired by the playwright’s ancestors, this moving and surprising world premiere tells one family’s fascinating story within the history of our region’s role in the Underground Railroad. Advisory: SAFE HOUSE is appropriate for adults and older teenage audiences. There are references to the evils of slavery, mild adult language and other mature content.
