The play "Pipeline" tells the story of Omari, a young black teenager, and the fallout after he shoves a teacher at his elite private school. This hour-long conversation unpacks the larger issues that inform the play, like the so-called "school-to-prison pipeline" for black youth. It includes a conversation with actors Cecil Blutcher, who plays Omari, and Patrese D. McClain, who plays his mother, Nya, as well as a community conversation taped live at Actors Theatre featuring:

Darryl Young Jr. of the Muhammad Ali Center;Yvette Gentry — formerly with the Louisville Metro Police Department — who now works with Metro United Way’s Black Male Achievement initiative;Sayheed Ashanti, a community activist and the father of four JCPS students;Jaleyah Morton, president of the Black Student Union at Male High School;Holly Houston, a family lawyer in Louisville.
