Players by the Sea presents the musical PARADE by Jason Robert Brown & Alfred Uhry on July 16, 17, 22, 23, 24, 29, 30, 31 at 8:00pm.  General admission is $25.00. This show contains strong language and adult content and may not be appropriate for children.

The tragic, true story of the trial and lynching of a man wrongly accused of murder is brought to emotional and theatrical life by acclaimed Southern playwright Alfred Uhry (Driving Miss Daisy) and Jason Robert Brown, one of Broadway’s most promising young composers (Songs For A New World and The Last Five Years).  In 1913, Leo Frank, a Brooklyn-raised Jew living in Georgia, is put on trial for the murder of 13-year-old Mary Phagan, a factory worker under his employ. Already guilty in the eyes of everyone around him, a sensationalist publisher and a janitor’s false testimony seal Leo’s fate. His only defenders are a Governor with a conscience and eventually, his assimilated Southern wife who finds the strength and love to become his greatest champion.  Parade was the winner of the 1999 Tony Award for Best Book of a Musical and Best Original Musical Score, and was also the winner of the 1999 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Musical, Outstanding Book of a Musical, and Outstanding Score of a Musical.

During the run of PARADE, The Players by the Sea Grune Family Gallery will be showcasing the work of local artist Moisés Ramos.  Ramos was recently awarded the Cultural Council’s award for Outstanding Educator.

Parade’s stellar cast of thirty of Jacksonville’s most talented musical theatre performers is led by Josh Waller as Leo Frank and Staci Cobb as his determined wife, Lucille, along with Steven Anderson as Jim Conley, Chris Robertson as Frankie Epps, Bill Ratliff as Prosecutor Hugh Dorsey, Lee Hamby as journalist Britt Craig, Eugene Lindsey as Newt Lee, Roger Lowe as Governor Slaton, Robert Banks as the evangelist Tom Watson, Jeff Grove as Defense Attorney Luther Rosser, Katie Sacks as Mary Phagan, and Leslie Richart as Mary Phagan’s mother.  Rounding out the multi-talented ensemble, who also appear in many supporting roles, are Gary Baker, Tracy Davis, J’royce Denard-Walton, Julia Fallon, Evan Gould, Judy Gould, Mary Herrington, Stephen Johns, Maisaa Kayal, Dominique Lawson, Miranda Lawson, Christy Mull, Zeek Smith, Emily Suarez, Joshua Taylor, Jeff Wells, Bill White, and Stacy Williams.  The musical is directed by Michael Lipp, with musical direction by Samuel Clein assisted by Miranda Lawson and choreographic assistance by Kellina Chavoustie.  Kat McLeod is the Stage Manager for the production, being costumed by Lee Hamby and Deb Wolfe.
