Your Guide to FOUR LITTLE GIRLS: BIRMINGHAM 1963

Artistic Director Rick Dildine offers a preshow guide to our production of FOUR LITTLE GIRLS: BIRMINGHAM 1963.

Denise McNair, Carole Robertson, Cynthia D. Morris Wesley, and Addie Mae Collins. This production imagines these four young girls before the terrible event on September 15, 1963—the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama. Through story and song, the play shines a light on their dreams, their times with family and friends, and the trials and tribulations children faced living in a divided and segregationist city in 1963. A full chorus sets the tone with spirituals and anthems of the Civil Rights Movement such as “Amazing Grace,” “Oh, Freedom,” and “Woke Up This Morning.”

Produced in collaboration with Montgomery Public Schools.
