The day after their friend Cathy’s funeral, Margot, Tate, and Connie gather for a round of golf in honour of their recently departed fourth. There, they are joined by another woman, an old friend of Cathy’s they’d never met.

Kaleidoscopic fun!!

Beautiful reading this evening and so provocative of thoughtful dialogue! Interesting how a children’s story written in 1958, and the events of that time, are so relevant today. Well done, all!

Please join us for February’s script reading:

Alabama Story
by Kenneth Jones

Date: Tuesday February 24th, 2026
Time: 5:30 – 8:30pm
Location: North Bay Public Library – Auditorium

This is the true story of a banned children’s book. The story of a librarian who wanted to protect it. The story of a politician who wanted to burn it. The story of an illustrator who wanted to delight young readers.

Once upon a time there was a children’s picture book, “The Rabbits’ Wedding,” about a bunny with white fur who marries a bunny with black fur. Written and illustrated by Garth Williams, best known for his artwork for “Charlotte’s Web” and the “Little House” books, it was published in 1958 at the height of the Civil Rights movement.

The play is set in 1959, and freely mixes fact, fiction, humour and drama.

As the Civil Rights movement is brewing in Montgomery, Alabama, a segregationist senator and the no-nonsense state librarian clash over the content of a children’s book about bunny rabbits. Meanwhile, a reunion of childhood friends — an African American man and a woman of white privilege — provides a private counterpoint to the public events swirling in the state capital. Political foes, star-crossed lovers, and one feisty children’s author inhabit a Deep South of the imagination that brims with humor, heartbreak, and hope. Inspired by true events.

A copy of the children’s book will be available at our script reading.
