REGIONAL PREMIERE. Alabama Story by Kenneth Jones is part of the Sarasota Festival of New Plays!

In 1959 Montgomery, Alabama, the Civil Rights Movement is flowering. A children’s book with a hidden message stirs the passions of a segregationist senator and a no-nonsense state librarian.

Inspired by true events, Alabama Story puts political foes, childhood friends, and one feisty author at opposite ends of clashing perceptions.

Alabama Story is also part of the Dialogues on Diversity series which includes panel discussions centered around the themes of the play.
