Alabama Story

This play, set in Montgomery in 1959, delves into the heart of Alabama’s history, exploring themes of belonging, identity, and the fight to protect one’s home and heritage. A children’s picture book – The Rabbit’s Wedding – becomes a flashpoint when a state senator discovers the book about a black rabbit and a white rabbit getting married. He sets out to fire the state librarian for protecting it. Meanwhile, a chance meeting between childhood friends – one white and one black – forces them to recall, confront, and reconcile their complicated past.  It’s a story that resonates deeply with our community, reminding us of the power of our past and the importance of our shared home. The challenging and heartfelt events of these interwoven tales demonstrate the transformative power of storytelling.
