Ensemble opens Alabama Story NEXT FRIDAY!
by Ensemble Theatre 29 Aug '18

29 Aug '18

*Press Release: For Immediate Release* Contact: *info@ensemble-theatre.org/tickets@ensemble-theatre.org <http://info@ensemble-theatre.org/tickets@ensemble-theatre.org>* Phone: *216-321-2930 * ENSEMBLE THEATRE to open its 39th consecutive Season! *-THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT-* with *ALABAMA STORY* By *Kenneth Jones * Directed by *Tyler Whidden* *Ohio Premiere!!* *September 7th- September 30th* *MainStage Theater* A gentle children’s book with an apparent hidden message — a black rabbit marries a white rabbit! — stirs the passions of a segregationist State Senator and the no-nonsense State Librarian in 1959 Montgomery, Alabama, just as the civil rights movement is flowering. Another story of childhood friends — an African-American man and a white woman, reunited in adulthood in Montgomery that same year — provides private counterpoint to the public events of the play. *Alabama Story* was the finalist for several major playwriting awards including the Eugene O’Neill National Playwrights Conference and the Steinberg/American Theatre Critics Association New Play Award. With over a dozen professional productions across the country, Ensemble is proud to bring this wonderfully important play to the stage for its Ohio Premiere! “I wrote Alabama Story several years before our current political moment, but the characters, ideas and themes that surface in the play seem more alive than ever: it’s a story of censorship, saber-rattling politicians, persecuted women, Southerners dismissing national opinions, naked racism, threatened civil rights, attacks on the free flow of information. It’s also a love story, a political thriller and, at times, a comedy. Really. The play is set in 1959, and it’s both heartening and horrifying to me that everything old is new again. Inspired by true events, I ended up writing a play about how we treat each other in times of social crisis. I’m excited that Alabama Story is getting its Ohio Premiere by Ensemble Theatre in a time when conversations about the quality of American character are so highly charged.”* -Kenneth Jones* “Dynamic! Rich! Impressive! Cleverly crafted! Articulate! Razor-sharp!”* -Salt Lake Tribune* “A real-life controversy about a children’s book from 1959 is the basis for a new play with freshly relevant themes.” *-American Theatre* *Our entire 2018|2019 Season will take place in the heart of Coventry Village on the Coventry P.E.A.C.E. Campus!!!* 2843 W. Washington Blvd | Cleveland Heights, OH 44118 So JOIN US! What stories we have to tell!
