Support for Forum comes from Broadway S.F. 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 accused

of an unspeakable crime, it propels them into an unimaginable test of faith, humanity, justice,

and devotion.

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

Tickets on sale now at Broadway, sF.com.

Coming up on Forum, Rick Steves is one of the most trusted sources for Americans traveling abroad, but he once dreamed of becoming a piano teacher.

That was before he backpacked along the hippie trail from Istanbul to Kathmandu in 1978,

a trip that made him want to help others experience life-altering

travel, as well as the subject of his new book.

We'll talk to Steve's about how foreign travel has changed dramatically in the last few decades

and why he thinks traveling is a political act.

What's a life lesson you learned from travel?
