Parade

Villanova Theatre presents the Philadelphia Premiere of the Tony Award-winning musical Parade, the true story of Leo Frank, a shy Jewish man from Brooklyn, NY, who was accused of murdering thirteen-year old Mary Phagan in Atlanta, GA, in 1913. When an angry mob of citizens – suspicious of him because he is an outsider in a tight-knit community – calls for his execution, he must rely on his Southern-belle wife and a governor with a conscience to defend him. The musical covers not only the murder and subsequent trial, but also dramatizes the relationship between Frank and his wife Lucille.

There are no performances from April 6 to April 11.
