WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
T.R. Knight stars in Parade, the true story of the arrest, conviction and lynching of Leo Frank in post-Civil War Atlanta, Georgia.
Mary Phagan, a 13-year-old factory worker, has been murdered on the day of the 1913 Confederate Memorial Day parade. Frank, the factory's superintendent and a Jewish outsider, is immediately cast as a suspect. As the media frenzy ensues, with journalists thirsting for news to boost circulations and ambitious politicians seeking votes, Frank - the transplanted Yankee - becomes the scapegoat. His wife, Lucille, passionately works for her husband's release from jail but public hatred continues to rise to a fever pitch.
Although justice is eventually thwarted and prejudice prevails, Leo and Lucille find a renewed commitment to each other as well as a moment of transcendent grace in their tragedy.

Rob Ashford's stunning produciton of Jason Robert Brown and Alfred Uhry's Tony Award-winning musical Parade -- first seen at London's Donmar Warehouse -- has arrived in the U.S. and is now at the Mark Taper Forum, with stage and film star T.R. Knight giving an impressive starring performance.
A large, aged mural crowns the upstage wall of Christopher Oram's beautifully minimalistic set. As the 1913 Confederate Memorial Day parade winds through the streets of Atlanta, 13-year-old Mary Phagan is brutally raped and murdered at the factory where she worked and her boss, Leo Frank (Knight), quickly becomes the prime suspect. At key moments in the story, the faces gain clarity and color, and the [...]
