Alabama Story
In Alabama Story, as the Civil Rights movement is brewing, a controversial children’s book comes out. It’s about a black rabbit marrying a white rabbit. The book 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 a 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.
Please note: This play contains brief, mild language.
