Avon Players Present PARADE

By: Sally Henry Fuller Aug. 01, 2015

Avon Players presents PARADE, by Jason Robert Brown, September 11-13. PARADE is the true story of Leo Frank, a Brooklyn-born Jewish man, who was accused of murdering a girl named Mary Phagan, and was consequently involved in what was once called "the trial of the century."

This amazing piece is rarely performed anywhere so will likely be a new musical experience for audiences, but more importantly this August marks the 100th anniversary of the conclusion of the story (Spoiler alert: I could tell you, or you could look it up, but it ruins the end of the play to know what happened in history back in 1915).
