Parade - presented by Gallery Players

Details

Amid religious intolerance, political injustice and racial tension, the stirring Tony Award -winning Parade explores the endurance of love and hope against all the odds. In 1913, Leo Frank , a Brooklyn-raised Jew living in Georgia, is put on trial for the murder of thirteen-year-old Mary Phagan , a factory worker under his employ. Already guilty in the eyes of everyone around him, a sensationalist publisher and a janitor's false testimony seal Leo's fate. His only defenders are a governor with a conscience and his assimilated Southern wife who finds the strength and love to become his greatest champion. Daring, innovative and bold, Parade is filled with soaring music and a heart-wrenching story, offering a moral lesson about the dangers of prejudice and ignorance that should not be forgotten. With a book by acclaimed playwright Alfred Uhry ( Driving Miss Daisy ) and a rousing and haunting score by Jason Robert Brown ( Songs For a New World, The Last Five Years, Bridges of Madison County ), Parade is a moving examination of the darkest corners of America's history and is revered as one of the most powerful musicals of all time.
