About the program

Written by playwright and producer J.P. Haynes, Selma the Musical: The Untold Stories chronicles the story of Selma, Alabama, and the citizens of this unassuming town as they prepare for what is arguably the greatest endeavor of the Civil Rights Movement. The score features original music written by Haynes and her musical team, from the rich genres foundational to Black culture, such as gospel, jazz, and hip-hop.
