Parade | 2026 Strand Theatrical Season 📅 Thursday, September 17, 2026 at 12:00 AM 📍 Strand Theatre, 117 N Park Square, Marietta, GA, 30060 🔗 Event Info 📝 Parade is a powerful, Tony Award-winning musical that explores love, justice, and the devastating consequences of prejudice in early twentieth-century America. Set in 1913, the story follows Leo Frank, a Brooklyn-born Jewish factory manager living in Georgia, who is accused of the murder of thirteen-year-old factory worker Mary Phagan. As the trial unfolds amid rising public outrage, sensationalized media coverage, and deep social divisions, Leo finds himself condemned in the court of public opinion long before the verdict is delivered. With a book by acclaimed playwright Alfred Uhry (Driving Miss Daisy) and a rousing, colorful and haunting score by Jason Robert Brown (The Last Five Years, Bridges of Madison County, Songs For a New World), Parade follows Leo as he struggles to navigate a hostile community and a justice system shaped by fear and political pressure. As the case intensifies, his wife Lucille becomes his strongest advocate, finding the courage to stand beside him and fight to clear his name. Both intimate and epic in scope, Parade combines soaring music with a deeply human story. The result is a haunting theatrical experience that confronts one of the darkest corners in American history while illuminating the endurance of love, hope, and conviction in the face of overwhelming odds.
