Louisville Community Theatre’s inaugural production of Story Theater was supposed to be the group’s one and only performance that year, but members of the Louisville Historical Society requested Coal Creek perform during the city’s annual Parade of Lights event.
Founding member, Pasco Scarpella, wrote December in Louisville—1914, a collection of three vignettes depicting what life was like in Louisville at that time - working in the coal mines, the miners’ strikes and family life. December in Louisville—1914 was performed in Louisville’s Tomeo House, part of the Louisville Historical Museum. Small groups of play-goers traveled through the museum’s kitchen, living room and bedroom, watching an eight-minute vignette in each.
