*About PARADE:*  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. With a book by acclaimed playwright
Alfred Uhry (*Driving Miss Daisy*) and a rousing, colorful 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.

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, eventually, 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. Groups looking for
powerful, moving theatrical experiences will need to look no further than
this unforgettable show.
