The Kentucky Cycle: a nine-episode theatrical epic

Western Reserve Playhouse launches its yearlong presentation of The Kentucky Cycle with Episode 1: Masters of the Trade — the first installment of Robert Schenkkan’s Pulitzer Prize–winning American epic. This opening chapter begins the sweeping, 200-year story of families bound by land, power, and legacy, presented in WRP’s uniquely intimate Five Bucks Series. Masters of the Trade is a one-night event that stands on its own while setting the stage for the nine episodes that follow throughout 2026–2027. Tickets are just $5, and seating is limited for this rare theatrical experience.
