About the Play

Alexander’s is a place where people gather to share their stories. You never know who will walk into this timeless bar and transport you back to a moment in time. This is where echoes of riots reverberate through the ceilings, where spirits of rebellion linger in the air, where the past merges with the present and whispers near futures. 

Directed by Jacqueline Parker of the Central Square Theater, this story is woven together from monologues written by students. It captures events from history that are at times tragic and at other times victorious. Presented in a non-linear narrative, different characters show us a glimpse into the pulse of their time. As their intimate world becomes ours, events revisited are re contextualized with the present.
