ALABAMA STORY
by Kenneth Jones
Mar. 20 – April 6
A timely play about book banning and bunnies that is based on a true story.
In 1959, a librarian (Ensemble member Katie Maringer) reluctantly goes to war with an Alabama state senator over a children’s book about the wedding of two rabbits. This blows up into a huge controversy with the librarian (who is a Yankee) accused of peddling a hidden message. Elsewhere, two childhood friends, one white and one black, reconnect as adults and their story serves as a private counterpoint to the public uproar at the State House. This play tackles sensitive issues with smarts, humor, and hope. Alabama Story tickets are HERE.
