After a cross-country tour and stint on Broadway, , “label•less,” a musical from Lachey Arts, culminates its six-year journey on stage at Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park.
The musical began as a local acting class exercise has become a national phenomenon – and a vehicle to start difficult conversations about race, sexuality, mental health and more. Using contemporary music, powerful choreography and personal stories to spread a message of heart, humanity, and hope, the “label•less” cast of 17-27 year olds draws attention to the struggles facing all of us while offering hope of a better, more accepting tomorrow.
Founders of Lachey Arts, Drew and Lea Lachey understand the impact music and dance can have on someone’s life. Through Lachey Arts, in Pleasant Ridge, they offer classes for students to hone their skills by learning from working artists.
But they are also creating a space for young artists to follow their hearts, including creating “label•less,” a musical journey toward acceptance.
