IN-STATE PREMIERE!
Starkville Community Theatre will stage the Mississippi premiere of Kenneth Jones' entertaining and electric drama "Alabama Story".
In 1959 in Montgomery, a children's book about a black rabbit marrying a white rabbit stirs the passions of a segregationist Alabama senator and a no-nonsense librarian, along with two childhood friends - an African-American man and a woman of white privilege - reunited in adulthood. Inspired by true events, this tale of the Deep South during the flowering of the civil rights movement brims with humor, heartbreak, and hope.
Directed by Louie Gallo, with assistance from Pattye Archer, "Alabama Story" stars Darryl Brundidge, Jr. (SCT debut); Madeline Golden; Larry Graves; Sean Mackin; Jacob Phillips; and Elizabeth Williams.
The show will perform February 15-17, 2024, nightly at 7 p.m.; February 18 at 2 p.m.; and February 20-23, nightly at 7 p.m..
General admission is $20 per ticket, with discounted $15 tickets for students and active military.
