Based on the fascinating true story and courtroom drama surrounding the famous trial of Leo Frank, Parade is a powerful and compelling musical that captures a storied moment in American history. Leo Frank, the meek manager of the National Pencil Factory in Marietta, GA, was falsely accused and charged with a heinous crime. His trial became a national news item and was sensationalized in the press. Dedicated to her husband’s exoneration, Leo’s loving and devoted wife, Lucille, became his greatest advocate. Her tireless quest becomes the foundation of renewed admiration and love between the two. Parade is a story about compassion, devotion and forgiveness. With a score by Jason Robert Brown, this groundbreaking musical won the 1999 Tony award for Best Book and Best Score. Adult themes.

One of America’s biggest musical legends, Patsy Cline catapulted to fame and sold over 10 million records in her short but legendary

musical career. Always... Patsy Cline is based on the true story of Patsy’s friendship with Houston housewife Louise Seger, with a story

taken right from their pen-pal correspondence. The show focuses on the fateful evening at Houston’s Esquire Ballroom when Seger

learns of Cline’s death in a plane crash. What follows is an inspiring retrospective of her life and music with over 30 of her famous hits

including “Walkin’ After Midnight” and her iconic hit, “Crazy.” With its simple heart and pure joy of theatrical storytelling,

July 12 - August 11 Theater Mack

Be the first to witness the birth of the next mega hit! The PiTCH provides a forum for musicals in their earliest stages of

development. Each musical creation team is provided with a week-long residency at the Festival. At the end of each week, the

creative team ‘pitches’ their material to audiences with a presentation lasting approximately an hour long. Afterward, the audience and creative team engage in active dialogue about the

piece and the process.
