When Kay visits Lincoln Cemetery, she meets Kayah, a spiritual guide who connects her to the "greats of the past." Through this journey, Kay uncovers the enduring greatness of her community and herself.
Since its inception in 2020, Voices of the Eighth has evolved into a community-driven movement. Thousands of students, residents, and visitors have experienced these stories, fostering dialogue and deeper connections across generations and backgrounds. The production's partnership with Dauphin County Commissioners underscores its importance as a cultural and educational cornerstone.
