SLU Theatre & Dance proudly presents 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 a childhood friend, 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. Inspired by true events!
Directed by Associate Professor of Theatre Nancy Bell.
