Alabama Story
by Kenneth Jones
September 8-25, 2022
Political foes, star-crossed childhood friends, and one feisty state librarian take the stage for a uniquely poetic love letter to reading. A drama based on true events.

"...begins with the characters asking, ‘Tell me a story,’ and the unifying strand is the way stories — real and fictional — shape our lives.” - Salt Lake Tribune
"The play feels timely.... The topicality of Alabama Story infuses a theatrical moment that feels spontaneous yet intriguingly layered.” - The Washington Post
