Freedom Rider at Alabama Shakespeare Festival

WORLD PREMIERE | Directed by Ricardo Khan | In May 1961, four young students join others aboard a southbound bus in Washington, DC, to challenge segregated spaces in interstate travel. They ended up changing themselves and the nation forever. Inspired by real events, this powerful play sometimes funny and ultimately uplifting celebrates the heroic and watershed journey of these young people. Written by Ricardo Khan in collaboration with Kathleen McGhee-Anderson, Murray Horwitz, Nathan Louis Jackson, and Nikkole Salter.
