Parade is a musical with a book by Alfred Uhry and music and lyrics by Jason Robert Brown. The musical dramatizes the 1913 trial of Jewish factory manager Leo Frank\, who was accused and convicted of raping and murdering a thirteen-year-old employee\, Mary Phagan. The trial\, sensationalized by the media\, aroused antisemitic tensions in Atlanta and the U.S. state of Georgia. When Frank's death sentence was commuted to life in prison by the departing Governor of Georgia\, John M. Slaton\, in 1915 due to his detailed review of over 10\,000 pages of testimony and possible problems with the trial\, Leo Frank was transferred to a prison in Milledgeville\, Georgia\, where a lynching party seized and kidnapped him. Frank was taken to Phagan's hometown of Marietta\, Georgia\, and he was hanged from an oak tree. The events surrounding the investigation and trial led to two groups emerging: the revival of the defunct KKK and the birth of the Jewish Civil Rights organization\, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). \nTickets are $65 per person for mAAc members and $70 for non-mAAc members. Registration is required by Tuesday\, January 28 (form linked below). \nQuestions?\nRegistration: Jackie Nix (jnix@aasynagogue.org; 404.603.5743)\nProgram: Gail Solomon (solgail.627@gmail.com; 404.456.6171) \n Register URL:https://aasynagogue.org/event/maac-at-the-fox-theatre-parade/ LOCATION:The Fox Theatre\, 660 Peachtree Street NE\, Atlanta\, GA\, 30308 CATEGORIES:Mature Active Adult Community (mAAc) ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://aasynagogue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Parade.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250407T101500 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250407T113000 DTSTAMP:20260511T131230 CREATED:20241206T201508Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241206T201508Z UID:10018567-1744020900-1744025400@aasynagogue.org SUMMARY:Naomi's Book Club 🔀 DESCRIPTION:Join Sisterhood on the first Monday of each month for a lively book discussion.
