160 Years of Walking

By David Lee Lindsey

Directed by Justin Lord and Veronica Thompson

TST’s David Lee Lindsey’s groundbreaking play, “160 Years of Walking: 1865-2025,” is a raw and unflinching exploration of the African American experience.

Through the lens of a single bloodline, the play charts a harrowing journey from the brutal shackles of slavery to the complex realities of contemporary society. Lindsey’s bold fusion of historical fact and imaginative storytelling creates a powerful and thought-provoking tapestry that is both deeply personal and profoundly universal. By seamlessly blending traditional dramatic elements with innovative forms like hip-hop and stream-of-consciousness, he crafts a truly immersive theatrical experience that resonates with audiences on multiple levels.

160 Years of Walking is not merely a play, it’s a testament to the enduring spirit of a people and a quest for a more just and equitable future.
