Alabama Story
Written by Kenneth Jones Directed by Daniel Inouye 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. Meanwhile, the story of two childhood friends — an African American man and a woman of white privilege, reunited in adulthood — provides a 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. Inspired by true events. Climenhaga Building, Miller Theater Nov. 9-11 and 17-18, 8 p.m. Nov. 12 and 19, 3 p.m. *School Series Nov. 16, 10 a.m. for junior high and high school audiences Tickets:$10—Adults $7—MU Students (w/ID), MU Employees (w/ID), Youth (under 18); Seniors (60+) *Tickets are Buy-One-Get-One Free for Opening Night!* For Tickets: , 717-691-6036, or at the door as available.
