ALABAMA STORY by Kenneth Jones

As the Civil Rights movement is brewing, a controversial children’s book about a black rabbit marrying a white rabbit stirs the passions of a segregationist State Senator and a no-nonsense State Librarian in 1959 Montgomery, Alabama. A contrasting story of childhood friends—an African American man and a woman of white privilege, reunited in adulthood—provides private counterpoint to the public events swirling in the state capital. Political foes, star-crossed lovers, and one feisty children’s author inhabit the same page in a Deep South of the imagination that brims with humor, heartbreak, and hope. Inspired by true events!

Alabama Story contains descriptions of violence, depictions of historical racism and racist attitudes, and references to suicide.

The originally scheduled production, Straight White Men, has been replaced by Alabama Story. Ticketholders will be able to present their tickets at the exact same performance date and time for entry.
