Soutus, a playwright and the founder of the NASHi experimen- tal culture project based in Kyiv ( see our story on page 14 ), the production featured three Ukrainian American actresses who portrayed multiple generations of UNWLA members, stepping into each other’s stories and moving seamlessly through time. Within the play, they prepared for the Centennial Celebration while revisiting key moments in history to which the UNWLA had responded. Musical interludes enriched the atmosphere, while creative lighting enhanced the mood and underscored moments of reflection. The performance concluded powerfully with the words: “And we’re just getting started!” A Legacy in Motion captivated the audience and was met with heartfelt applause and a standing ovation.
