Today we say farewell to the Parade tour. We're eternally grateful to our company for telling this story with such conviction and artistry, and to every audience member who came to see us along the way.
We close this chapter with celebration, reflection, and one last invitation to witness the Tony-winning revival of Parade, now playing at the Kennedy Center through Sunday, September 7th.
What began as Alfred Uhry’s powerful words on a page, now echo through our nation’s capital. Experience Parade at The Kennedy Center through September 7th, the final stop on our tour.
Parade on Broadway retweeted
In 1913, Leo Frank, a Jewish factory manager in Atlanta, was falsely accused of murdering 13-year-old Mary Phagan. Despite weak and constantly changed testimonies and evidence, he was convicted in a highly publicized and antisemitic trial.
After receiving a death sentence, Leo Frank fought his case all the way to the Supreme Court and pleaded for the evidence to be reexamined. His sentence was eventually commuted to life in prison. The Jim Crow south didn't accept this as fair. In 1915, a mob, including government and prominent officials, broke into the prison, kidnapped him, and lynched him.
His wife, Lucille Frank, never stopped fighting to clear his name.
Now, more than 100 years later, the actors of Parade on Broadway speak about why this story still matters. In this interview, filmed in collaboration with the Center for Jewish History, Parade on Broadway, and the American Jewish Archives, they reflect on the importance of remembering Leo and Lucille Frank and the dangers of silence in the face of injustice.
