SteppingStone Theater Presents FOUR LITTLE GIRLS Reading Today
Please join us today, September 15, 2013 for a free special commemoration of the very day 50 years ago when four little girls, Addie Mae Collins, Denise McNair, Carole Robertson, and Cynthia Wesley were killed when their church was bombed by white supremacists in Birmingham, Alabama. The play lets the four girls tell us about the hopes and dreams they carried for their lives before they were tragically cut down. It is as uplifting as it is moving.
