Posted by Jenna i am SO excited to have found a messageboard to discuss this fabulous musical and incredible story! i have so many comments to make - sorry that this is a long message, but hopefully it's informative and interesting for you all to read! i am a senior at a performing arts high school, and we are putting on the *West Coast Premiere* of "Parade". My school is located in Southern California - Katie, who posted a while ago, should be interested! - and if anyone else's interested in seeing it (late May), visit my school's webpage and search under upcoming performances (linked below). i am just about finished reading "The Murder of Little Mary Phagan", the book written by Mary Phagan Kean. i was fortunate enough to find it at a local used bookstore, along with "The Silent and the Damned" book written by Robert Frey, which i will start on next. anyone who has read Mary Phagan's book - i'm totally interested in how you felt about it.. i am personally enjoying it much. by the by - a few problems - Mary Phagan was born in 1899, yet it is stated on her tombstone and many webpages that she was born in 1900. Her greatniece claims that the year is 1899, which makes sense if Mary was 2 months shy of her 14th birthday (June 1) when she was murdered (April 26). And Mrs. Frank - LuciLe, or LuciLLe? It is spelled both ways in Mary Phagan's book... that's all for now! Take care. Link: Orange County High School of the Arts

hello everyone! 

my school provides conservatory training in different areas - dance, visual arts, instrumental, writing, theatre, etc. and - interesting tidbit - it just sooo happens that one of our dance teachers is the wife to the fabulous Rufus Bonds Jr. - Jim Conley on the soundtrack. 

i'm interested in hearing your responses and comments..
