Keep Marching: The Road to the March On Washington is a new play with music by Mad River Theater Works, crafted for 4th grade and up. Bringing collected oral history to life, the one-act play explores the historic 1963 March On Washington. Revered as the day that Martin Luther King, Jr. made his famous “I Have A Dream” speech, the event was a shining moment in the progression of equality in America, as well as a pivotal action in the Civil Rights movement. Keep Marching brings to life many iconic figures including Martin Luther King, Jr., Bayard Rustin and John Lewis.
