lot's daughters

by Rebecca Basham

This character-driven three-act drama explores Christian dogma and its historical repression of homosexuals. Using the Biblical story of Lot and his family who are forced to flee Sodom as a metaphor, the play is the story of two young women who fall in love with each other during the summer of 1944.

Gertie and Susanna are left behind in eastern Kentucky when Gertie's brother, Susanna's new husband, leaves the mountains of Appalachia to serve his country.

Set in a region where it is difficult to be gay/lesbian today and was almost impossible sixty years ago, Lot's Daughters dramatizes ideas of sexuality in a historical context.oksjust as good on mobile as it does on desktop.


In Memory of Michael Thompson May 2, 1955-January 1, 2007


This production of Lot's Daughter's was dedicated to the memory of Michael Thompson, an actor, activist, and friend who participated in every ActOut production in one compacity or another.  In honor of Michael, the theatre went black for 30 seconds before the show began.  "Think where man's glory most begins and ends.  And say my glory was I had such a friend." - W. B. Yeats
