Columbia Chronicle wrote a feature on #AlabamaStory's Scott Olson (who also happens to be a professor at the college). Read the article & then come see for yourself this weekend how "fascinating" it is to see him “apply what he teaches in class, onstage.”

Another great review for #AlabamaStory! This time from Third Coast Review: thirdcoastreview.com/2024/10…
We move to the Haymarket Books at Haymarket House this weekend. Haymarket is an independent, nonprofit book publisher based in #Chicago that publishes #books for changing the world.
"The cast delivers brilliant performances all around."
Another Recommended review of #AlabamaStory. We have 2 weekends left, both @haymarketbooks. As word of mouth spreads about this show, tickets are being snapped up, so reserve yours today!
