Parade at Sieminski Theater Cultural Arts Center

American Theater Group, a professional Actors Equity company, presents the musical “PARADE”

This Tony-Award winning musical by Jason Robert Brown (Bridges of Madison County) and Alfred Uhry (Driving Miss Daisy) dramatizes the story of Leo Frank, a factory manager accused of murdering a young employee. The 1913 Trial of the Century created a media frenzy full of half-truths, innuendo and unabashed bigotry.

Directed by Tony Award nominee, Hunter Foster.
