The upcoming theatrical event, Parade, is an impactful Tony Award-winning musical that delves into themes of love, justice, and the consequences of prejudice in early 20th-century America. Set in 1913, the story centers on Leo Frank, a Jewish factory manager from Brooklyn, who faces accusations in the murder of a young factory worker, Mary Phagan. As the trial progresses, it captures rising public outrage and the sensationalized media coverage, ultimately condemning Leo in the eyes of society before an actual verdict is reached.
With a compelling book by Alfred Uhry and a captivating score by Jason Robert Brown, Parade portrays Leo’s struggles while highlighting the relentless support of his wife, Lucille, as she navigates the challenging landscape to help clear his name. This poignant musical combines moving melodies with a deeply human narrative, offering audiences a profound exploration of a troubled chapter in American history.
The performance is scheduled for September 6, 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM at the Earl and Rachel Smith Strand Theatre, located at 117 N Park Square, Marietta, GA. Tickets are available through this link.
