Coming February 07
From the Stratford Festival's 2023 season, Alice Childress's powerful play Wedding Band, an emotional and revealing portrayal of interracial love, set in South Carolina in the shadow of the First World War and the 1918 flu epidemic, comes to Classroom Connect on February 7. As Julia, a Black seamstress, and Herman, a white baker, face the cruel racism of the Deep South, not only are they forced to navigate the societal racism of laws and culture, but they must also deal with heartbreaking judgment from their own families and communities.

This production includes mature themes and triggering language regarding race.
Streaming until February 07, 2026.
