Walk On:
The Story of Rosa Parks

Friday, January 30, 2009
10:00 am and 12:30 pm
Produced by Mad RiverTheater Works

Grades 3–8  • Length: 60 minutes

Curricular Connections: Social studies (US History, Black History and Women’s Studies), Drama, and Music Appreciation

Music and drama are woven together to tell the exciting and inspirational story of Rosa Parks— from her childhood in rural Alabama to her famous decision to “sit down and be counted.” The play dispels myths about Parks and her protest as it paints a portrait of a complex woman who had to find reconciliation within herself in order to become an effective Civil Rights leader.
