The InHEIRitance Project is a collaborative theater company working with communities all around Bluff City to create a brand new play inspired by three interwoven ideas; the history of the city, the experiences of the people who live here, and the themes of the story of Exodus. Through those three inquiries In[HEIR]itance Project artists support and deepen relationships among community members, organizations, and artists through a participatory theater project. We are hosting a series of conversations, creative salons, text studies, open rehearsals, and individual meetings where we create spaces for participants from many perspectives to learn with and from their own neighbors.

​The project will result in a brand new play created by, with and for the people of Memphis, premiering in April 2023. In addition to the creation of a brand new play, the goal of this project is to provide a creative process that forges bonds between Memphians, makes connections at the organizational level, and increases the kind of understanding that enables longer-term, meaningful community relationships.
