Tired Souls: King and the Montgomery Bus Boycott opens in Montgomery, Alabama on December 1, 1955 – the day Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a city bus to a white man. Her determination was the catalyst that inspired Montgomery’s black citizens to abandon all travel on city buses until they were no longer forced to sit in the back or stand when a white person boarded. But there were others who came before Mrs. Parks and laid the groundwork for this pivotal moment. This one-man play by Mike Wiley introduces audiences to Jo Ann Robinson, Claudette Colvin and others instrumental in lighting a fire under the Civil Rights movement and changing the course of U.S. history forever. Reception at 6:30 pm. Performance at 7 pm.
$20 General Admission • $10 Student (K–12)
