Alabama Story: Educational Resources

Cover of The Rabbits' Wedding by Garth Williams

As part of the Contemporary Voices Play Festival at BYU, Alabama Story is an example of an award winning playwright whose work we want our audiences and students to know. This play presents an opportunity to think deeply about censorship, racism, political power, and the importance of standing up for intellectual freedom.

Kenneth Jones’ Alabama Story has won multiple awards, including the BroadwayWorld Award for Best New Work in Salt Lake City in 2015, and was a Finalist for the National Playwrights Conference at the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center.

Below you’ll find several links to sources across the web that will help you engage deeper with, and enhance your enjoyment of, Kenneth Jones’ Alabama Story.
