Support for Forum comes from Broadway SF, presenting Parade, the musical revival based on a true story.

From three-time Tony-winning composer Jason Robert Brown comes the story of

Leo and Lucille Frank, a newlywed Jewish couple struggling to make a life in Georgia. When Leo is

The riveting and gloriously hopeful parade plays the Orpheum Theater for three weeks only, May 20th through June 8th.

Tickets on sale now at Broadway, sF.com.
