The Colonial Players of Annapolis
Alabama Story
by Kenneth Jones
Directed by Eleanore Tapscott

Performances run January 10 — February 1, 2025
Thursday through Sunday

As the Civil Rights movement is brewing, a controversial children’s book about a black rabbit marrying a white rabbit stirs the passions
of a segregationist State Senator and a no-nonsense State Librarian in 1959 Montgomery, Alabama.
A contrasting story of childhood friends — an African American man and a woman of white privilege, reunited in adulthood —
provides private counterpoint to the public events swirling in the state capital. Political foes, star-crossed lovers,
and one feisty children’s author inhabit the same page in a Deep South of the imagination that brims with humor, heartbreak, and hope.

“A poignant, gripping, angry and beautiful work.” – Time

"Their voices meld, their bodies tumble and tangle together. And sisterhood becomes a single hydra-headed, multitongued entity, invincible and indivisible.
God help the man who dares to cross it.” – The New York Times

“A triumphant event, filled with humor. Pure theatre.” – New York Daily News

BUMP is a heartfelt, comedic exploration of pregnancy, invention, and human connection across generations.
It interweaves stories of expectant mothers, inventive solutions, and online community support, revealing the humor and vulnerability of bringing life into the world.
Bump is loosely based on the story of Jorge Odón, a car mechanic from Argentina, who saw a YouTube video about extracting a cork from inside an empty wine bottle,
and conceived of using the same technique to deliver a baby.
