Warriors Don't Cry (SCHOOL SHOW)

School Showtimes: February 1st, 2023 at 9:30am and 11:30am

Recommended for Grades 6-12

A powerful, one woman show with a refreshing, contemporary approach to the past. Melba Pattillo steps out of history to share the story of her battle to integrate Little Rock Central High School in 1957. Ya Girl learns to see herself in Melba -- and in all the young warriors who came before her who raised their hands and made a difference. Inspired by Dr. Melba Pattillo Beals' Little Rock Nine memoir Warriors Don't Cry, this production is a catalyst for deeper discussion about social responsibility, civil discourse, social media, and community engagement.
