Read the playwright on UDM’s Michigan premiere of his “Alabama Story”
Alabama Story, the acclaimed historical drama by Michigan-bred playwright Kenneth Jones, will make its Wolverine State premiere in fall 2016 in a staging by The Theatre Company of the University of Detroit Mercy, the lauded troupe that for 45 years has mixed students and working professionals in award-winning hybrid-cast productions. The author will be in residence for part of the run of the play, which is set in “the Deep South of the imagination” where bigger-than-life characters battle over censorship and civil rights questions.
