A Storm Came Up

Written and Directed by Kristy Meanor

Come home to Alabama and revisit our history. It's the summer of 1963 in a small Alabama town and three young boys find themselves caught up in a complex crossfire-between George Wallace, the KKK, the desegregation of the local school system and memories of a murder they witnessed five years earlier. Narrated by the town's gravedigger who knows all the skeletons in the closets of this small town, the play examines the relationships of the boys and their families during the volatile backdrop of the Jim Crow south. Throw in suspense, Friday Night Lights and characters you will find familiar if you have lived in the south, and endearing even if you didn’t, this is a don’t miss! Adapted for the stage from Doug Segrest’s novel of the same title.
