ABOUT THE PLAY
An adaptation of the novel by Christopher Paul Curtis, one of America’s leading authors for young readers! When the Watsons load their young children into the car for the long drive from Michigan to visit family in the Deep South, they take their Green Book to help plan for the prejudice encountered by black people traveling in Jim Crow America. What they don’t expect is to find themselves caught up in an act of violence that will go down in Civil Rights history. Strength and love help them face their struggles and find a path forward in this powerful drama for the whole family.
The Watsons Go to Birmingham–1963 is on the IRT Upperstage.
