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 accused of an unspeakable crime, it propels them
