"Parade," the breathtaking 1998 Broadway musical by Jason Robert Brown and Alfred Uhry, focuses on the true story of the 1913 "Trial of the Century," in which Leo Frank, a Brooklyn-born Jewish man living in Atlanta, was falsely accused of killing a young girl working in the factory he managed. Only the desperate campaigning of Frank's wife Lucille stood between Frank and a storm of political opportunism, rabid reporters, and bloodthirsty xenophobes. "Parade" is a heartbreaking love story and fascinating study of bigotry and passion that leaves audiences stunned. This fall musical is directed by Matt Boresi.
