keep marching: the road to the march on washington resources

Keep Marching: The Road to the March On Washington is a one-act play with music that 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 March On Washington was a shining moment in the progression of equality in America and a pivotal action in the Civil Rights movement. 

Keep Marching: The Road to the March On Washington is based on historical records of the plans, motivations, fears, and concerns that went into organizing the march and collected oral histories of people who attended. 

Mad River Theater Works is an award-winning professional theater. The company creates engaging stage plays that combine music and drama to tell stories, highlighting the American experience, past and present.
