March in the Parade: A Play with Music for Young Audiences” was conceived and written by Edward Versailles, music by Harvey Kaiser with lyrics by Edward Versailles, and directed by AnnChris Warren. An hour-long work, it is about two children (a white boy and a black girl) on the 4th of July and the power of friendship to overcome racism and bullying. It is meant to entertain as well as tackle the sorest issue of our times and is especially appropriate for children ages 6 and 12 years (but enjoyable for all ages).
Long in development, “March in the Parade” will see its first professional performances on July 30 at 11:00 am and 3:00 pm at Rosendale Theatre. The cast includes Jovan Bradley, Jennelle Liscombe, Antique Mascara, Thomas Netter, Cheyenne See, and Elizabeth Thomas. To order tickets in advance to to www.brownpapertickets.com.

The gentle humorous drama of “March in the Parade,” its infectious music and interactivity, are welcome refreshment to the confusion and anxiety facing American families this summer. Let light beget light.
