The urge to create or possess a visual representation of a specific person – a portrait – is present throughout history. Portraits are created for many reasons: from sentimental to celebratory, for public or private viewing, as memorials, and as icons. .

Until the introduction of photography in the 1840s, portraits were rendered by artists in both two and three-dimensional mediums such as paintings and sculptures.

The Museum’s collection includes a variety of portraits, most of which depict local people. In this exhibition, we learn of portraiture and the people portrayed.

For the first time locally, Wichita audiences will experience the acclaimed full-cast drama of The Real Education of TJ Crowley: Coming of Age on the Redline, alongside the newly released script-book edition that elevates the story into an immersive “read + hear” format. It’s an invitation to live the story, reflect together, and connect with history that still echoes in our city.

Grant served as executive producer and co-author of the audio drama script, collaborating with acclaimed producer-director May Wuthrich.

Author Grant Overstake and his daughter, interviewer Jillian Forsberg, lead an intimate dialogue about the story’s Wichita roots, redlining and civil-rights history, the new script format, and the power of listening together. Enjoy a live read-along of a short scene followed by guided discussion, audience reflection, and connection.

Please join us if you could use an hour of deep relaxation!
