PARADE

Show Venue: Belk Theater, 130 N. Tryon St, Charlotte, NC, 28202

Event Venue: Foundation For The Carolinas, 220 N Tryon, Charlotte, NC 28202

Event Details: Wednesday, March 26^th from 5:30-7:00pm (Show begins at 7:30pm)

Parade tells the tragic story of the lynching of Leo Frank, the only Jewish lynching in American history. Not all shows are filled with razzle dazzle, and it is important for educators to lead deeper, tactful conversations with student performers around the content of the show in which they will perform to drive home these themes and their impact. We’re delighted to welcome Alan Johnathan, Assistant Director of Temple Israel Religious School and Family Engagement for Temple Israel, to discuss best practices and success stories of leading conversations with students and navigating rehearsals with heavier-content shows in the musical theater realm. We hope you can join us!
