August 1 - 16, 2025

As the Civil Rights movement is brewing in Montgomery, Alabama, a segregationist senator and a no-nonsense state librarian clash over the content of a children’s book. Meanwhile, a reunion of childhood friends provides a private counterpoint to public controversy. Inspired by actual events, the drama is timely, playful, smart, dark, and hopeful all at once, and a love letter to reading and librarians.
