Musicals are more than just jazz hands and tap dancing. But with the lighthearted qualities typically associated with the art form, it can be hard to avoid certain escapist tendencies. Music Theatre of Madison?s production of ?Parade,? which opens Thursday, July 26, is grounded in the dark reality of an important story. MTM has also partnered with the Jewish Federation of Madison for a special program on Sunday, July 29. The program will include a historical summary by Randolph and UW-Madison Jewish studies and theater professor Bob Skloot, as well as a talk by Matthew Bernstein, author of ?Screening A Lynching: The Leo Frank Case on Film and Television,? before the evening?s show.
