Yesterday afternoon, I saw Parade at Center Theatre Group / Ahmanson Theatre. Excellent production. Given the importance of the message, everyone should go see this.

"What struck me even more vividly in this well-judged and timely revival is the quick path hysteria has always burned through the American spirit.... When a chorus of white Georgians chants “hang ’im, hang ’im, make him pay,” the words can’t help but echo uncomfortably in the post-Jan. 6 air. And another song, a prayer for a return of the day when “the Southland was free,” sounds a lot like current talk of a second secession."

"If you don't know about it, I encourage you to look up the story and most importantly encourage you to come see the show, and it was definitely very ugly and scary but a wonderful reminder of why we're telling this particular story and how special and powerful art and, particularly, theater can be."
