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 Orpheum Theater for three weeks only, May 20th through June 8th.

Welcome back to Forum. I'm Mina Kim.

All right, we're switching gears this Friday to talk about street furniture.

Everything has a story, including that couch left out on the street in your neighborhood.

As USC professor Keith Plowcheck puts it, just think of all the sitting, all the conversations,

all the silences, life, death, butts, pets.

And then one day that piece of furniture ends up on the street and a new story begins.

For the rest of the hour, we explore the range of experiences

and emotions street furniture inspires from the excitement of a potential one-of-a-kind find

to the queasy questioning of what's in those cushions. How do you react to the couches,

tables, and chairs left out for the taking? Joining me is Keith Pocchek,

assistant professor of professional practice at the U.S.E.Nburg School of Communication and Journalism

and creator of streetcouch.com.

Keith Pocchak, thanks so much for being with us.
