Dear Readers, we live in divisive times. That’s no news to anyone. Our society is extremely polarized with many basing beliefs on fear, misinformation, and xenophobia while those in charge propagate that division by spreading lies.

And that’s where shows like “Parade”, currently performing at the 5th Avenue Theatre, come into play.
