Alabama Story at Undercroft Theatre

A librarian in segregation-era Alabama purchases a new children's book, The Rabbits' Wedding, for the library. But the nature of the seemingly innocent wedding draws the attention of a grandstanding, intolerant state senator, who leads a crusade against it. When the librarian stands her ground, the attention of the country focuses on the unexpected battle. Based on a true story from the '50s, this production of Alabama Story at Undercroft Theatre is an area premiere. The Washington Stage Guild, a fixture on the DC theatre scene since 1986, offers Alabama Story as part of its 1st Amendment Project.
