The Chicago Children's Theatre hosts a performance based on the book, The Watsons Go to Birmingham - 1963, by Christopher Paul Curtis. 

From the host:

When Kenny’s older brother starts getting into too much trouble in Michigan, it’s decided that he needs to pay a visit to Grandma Sands in Birmingham, Alabama to straighten him out. The whole family – Momma, Dad, Byron, Kenny, and Joetta – sets out on a cross-country journey in the family car, the “Brown Bomber.” When they make it to Birmingham, however, they find much more than they bargained for. The powerful story reminds us that during times of crisis, hope reveals itself in the forms of family and friendships; learning, growing and evolving.
