The Broadway Theatre of Pitman presents "Parade"

originally published: 08/04/2025


(PITMAN, NJ) -- The Broadway Theatre of Pitman presents Parade weekends from September 5-28, 2025. mid religious intolerance, political injustice and racial tension, the stirring Tony Award-winning musical explores the endurance of love and hope against all the odds. It features a book by Alfred Uhry and a rousing, colorful and haunting score by Jason Robert Brown.

In 1913, Leo Frank, a Brooklyn-raised Jew living in Georgia, is put on trial for the murder of thirteen-year-old Mary Phagan, a factory worker under his employ. Already guilty in the eyes of everyone around him, a sensationalist publisher and a janitor's false testimony seal Leo's fate. His only defenders are a governor with a conscience and, eventually, his assimilated Southern wife who finds the strength and love to become his greatest champion.

Daring, innovative and bold, Parade is filled with soaring music and a heart-wrenching story, offering a moral lesson about the dangers of prejudice and ignorance that should not be forgotten. Groups looking for powerful, moving theatrical experiences will need to look no further than this unforgettable show.

Performances take place Friday, September 5 at at 8:00pm; Saturday, September 6 at 8:00pm; Sunday, September 7 at 2:00pm & 7:00pm; Friday, September 12 at 8:00pm; Saturday, September 13 at 2:00pm & 8:00pm; Sunday, September 14 at 2:00pm; Friday, September 19 at 8:00pm; Saturday, September 20 at 8:00pm; Sunday, September 21 at 2:00pm & 7:00pm; Friday, September 26 at 8:00pm; Saturday, September 27 at 2:00pm & 8:00pm; and Sunday, September 28 at 2:00pm.
