Grand Rapids Opera: World Premiere, Stinney: An American Execution

  • Peter Martin Wege Theatre 341 Ellsworth Avenue Southwest Grand Rapids, MI, 49503 United States (map)

Music by Frances Pollock
Libretto by Tia Price

In 1944, George Stinney Jr. was executed at the age of 14. Wrongfully accused of the rape and murder of two white girls, George became the youngest person legally executed in America. Stinney: An American Execution spotlights the agony of this injustice as it reminds us of our aspirations for an enlightened society.
