Written by Kenneth Jones and directed by Eleanore Tapscott.
As the Civil Rights movement is brewing, a controversial children’s book about a black rabbit marrying a white rabbit stirs the passions of a segregationist State Senator and a no-nonsense State Librarian in 1959 Montgomery, Alabama. A contrasting story of childhood friends — an African American man and a woman of white privilege, reunited in adulthood — provides private counterpoint to the public events swirling in the state capital. Political foes, star-crossed lovers, and one feisty children’s author inhabit the same page in a Deep South of the imagination that brims with humor, heartbreak, and hope.
Please note, the role of Emily Wheelock Reed will be played by Lory Cosner on the following dates: Sunday, 1/12, Thursday, 1/23, and Friday, 1/31.
