Audition - Alabama Story

Sunday, Oct 6, 2024 from 6:00pm to 9:00pm
Colonial Players Annex
2132 Renard Court
410-268-7373

For every show that has cast/staff members under the age of 18, all show cast and staff will be required to sign an acknowledgement that they have read and understand the Colonial Players Child Protection Policy.

As the Civil Rights movement is brewing, a controversial children's book about a black rabbit marrying a white rabbit stirs the passions of a segregationist State Senator and a no-nonsense State Librarian in 1959 Montgomery, Alabama. A contrasting story of childhood friends — an African American man and a woman of white privilege, reunited in adulthood — provides private counterpoint to the public events swirling in the state capital. Political foes, star-crossed lovers, and one feisty children's author inhabit the same page in a Deep South of the imagination that brims with humor, heartbreak, and hope.
