I was thoroughly engaged by the story of Cumberland and his descendants! A digestible slice of a history that doesn’t always go down easy. I really hope they do more of these... can’t wait to hear what’s next from Bondfire Theatre.

United States7 years ago - Bondfire Radio Theater Ensemble Delivers again!

These performances included great convers... more
Apple Podcasts5cinnymunnUnited States7 years ago - Amazing!
You can tell all of the hard work that everyone put into this. From the scripts, actors, to sound design, this is a piece of living history. Rarely do we get to experience Black stories as something other traumatic, but this work does just that. Looking forward to more!

There is not enough that I can say about this beautiful project. From the the writting to the production it is amazing. Two big take aways from this project are one: that we are able to write and tell our own stories in and entertaining way, and Two: We still have a lot to learn about our history in this country
Apple Podcasts5Nikki937United States8 years ago - Bondfire Radio Theater Ensemble - The Weeksville Project
I was lucky enough to see this production as it was presented live before an enthusiastic and large audience--in Weeksville!--in 2018. It was absolutely inspiring--the writing and casting were brilliant, informed by deep research and highly educational, presenting "slice of life in a day" kinds of scenes connecting to different periods in Weeksville's fascinating history. Anything produced by Keisha "TK" Dutes and Conscious Walker is going to be beautiful, visionary, and intellectually challen... more
