PARADE
Music and Lyrics by Jason Robert Brown
Book by Alfred Uhry
JUNE 18 to JULY 12, 2026
Powerful, moving, and unforgettable, PARADE tells a tragic and true story of injustice. In 1913, Leo Frank, a Brooklyn-raised Jew living in Georgia, is put on trial for the murder of 13-year-old Mary Phagan, a factory worker under his supervision. 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. Amid religious intolerance, political injustice and racial tension, this stirring show explores the endurance of love and hope against all the odds.
Parade is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com
