Huntsville's Trial of the Century

On January 20-21 & 26-28, 2006, Playwright Jeff Robertson brings Theatre Huntsville's first-ever original production to the VBC Playhouse stage in The Trial of Frank James. Five years in the making, this is a must-see for Huntsville theatre-goers and history buffs!

To learn more about the background story of this unique time in Huntsville's history, you can read Jeff Robertson's "Frank & Jesse James's Last Ride" or Huntsville's Trial of the Century. I'm sure Huntsville was all a-buzz with excitement, gossip and publicity just like our modern day version of the O.J. Simpson or Michael Jackson Trial. When a "celebrity" (and that's what the James Gang was!) is on trial does justice really get served?
