LAND OF CLEVE REVIEW: PARADE at French Creek Theatre

WHO: French Creek Theatre WHAT: Parade, book by Alfred Uhry, music & lyrics by Jason Robert Brown, co-conceived & directed on Broadway by Harold Prince; directed by Joanna May Hunkins, musical direction by Anthony Trifiletti, choreography by Monica Olejko WHEN: Now through May 21 -- performances Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30pm, Sundays at 3:00pm WHERE: French Creek Nature & Arts Center, located within the French Creek Nature & Arts Center, 4530 Colorado Avenue in Sheffield Village HOW: For tickets and more information, call (440) 949-5200<tel:(440)%20949-5200>, purchase online<http://metroparks.cc/french-creek-theatre-tickets.php> or visit the FCT Box Office, open 10am-6pm daily Making a Murderer is a documentary series that tells the true tale of a man who was convicted of a crime he may or may not have committed. TV shows like Dateline NBC and 20/20 often reconstruct crimes to try and get to the truth behind the story. In the same way, Parade attempts to shed light on a real-life tragedy that happened a century ago but is just as fascinating as today's headlines. The celebrated stage musical chronicles the fate of a Jewish factory manager who was wrongly accused of killing a young employee in 1913. Although the verdict seems obvious, history has proven that people can -- and do -- get away with murder. Parade offers viewers an opportunity to make their own conclusions about the crime that's slowly being dissected in front of them. Audience members in effect become the jury, presented with the facts of the case and given a chance to determine the protagonist's innocence or guilt before learning of his ultimate fate...
