    Warriors Don’t Cry, adapted from the best-selling memoir of Melba Pattillo Beals, is a searing account of her junior year at Little Rock’s Central High. As one of nine African American students chosen in 1957 to integrate the 2,000-student Central, Melba endured a year punctuated by telephone threats, shouting mobs, military escorts, rogue police, firebomb and acid-throwing attacks, economic blackmail, and finally, a price on her own head. With the help of her English-teacher mother, her fellow warriors of the Little Rock Nine, and her gun-toting, Shakespeare-quoting grandmother, Melba survived. Pulitzer-nominated playwright Eisa Davis originally adapted Warriors Don't Cry for Cornerstone Theatre, Los Angeles.

    Directed by Maryanna Clarke, Warriors Don’t Cry stars Vilia Steele. This event is sponsored by The Gallatin Arts Council.
