Higher Ground, a part of the Southeast Kentucky Community & Technical College Appalachian Program, is thrilled to announce its 9th community performance, Shift Change. The original musical drama, created in the past year by people in Harlan County in collaboration with guest artists, is based on interviews collected by SKCTC students and community members. Shift Change uses story and song to process the events of the past year.

Show dates are April 23, 24, 30 and May 1 at 7:30 pm at Southeast Kentucky Community and Technical College Harlan campus, 164 Ballpark Rd. Harlan, KY 40831. The production will be staged outdoors with some actors and musicians pre-recorded and presented onscreen and some live. Attendees will have the option to sit socially distanced or watch from their vehicles. Masks are required of all patrons. Reservations are highly recommended. For more information, please call (606) 589-3136 or email Kate Handzlik at khandzlik0001@kctcs.edu.

Support for Shift Change and Higher Ground comes from Brook and Pam Smith, AlternateROOTS, and Dr. Vic Adams and the SKCTC administration.
