MAX CHERNIN of the (Broadway Revival of Parade) will play Leo Frank at Proctors Jan. 11-17.
NEW YORK CITY – The producers of the Broadway revival of Parade, winner of the 2023 Tony Award® for Best Revival of a Musical, will run technical rehearsals and have its first public performances at Proctors in Schenectady. Showings continue through Jan, 17 followed by its official tour premiere at Hennepin Art’s historic Orpheum Theatre in Minneapolis from Jan. 21-26.
Parade tells a fictionalized account of what happened to a real life couple, Leo and Lucille Frank. As the newlywed Jewish couple struggled to make a life. Leo is accused of murdering a 13-year-old girl, in his employ. It propels them into a test of faith, humanity, justice, and devotion. The anti-Semitism of the Atlanta community and his eventual lynching for a crime (that he is considered by many modern scholars to have been innocent of) inspired the creation of the Anti- Defamation League (ADL).
