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.

Linguist Michael Arrard has compiled stories about these words in his new book,

Bye Bye, I Love You, the story of our first and last words.

He examines why these particular words mean so much to us, and we hear from you.

What's a story about first and last words that you want to share?

That's all coming up next after this news.
