Shortly before Christmas day in 1854, Harriet Tubman discovered that her brothers, enslaved in Maryland, were to be sold at auction on December 26th. She knew this was her last chance to help them escape before the stakes became too high. With a steely determination, she went back to Maryland, to the plantation where she had once been enslaved. On December 29th, she, her brothers and several others walked safely into William Still's Anti-Slavery office in Philadelphia. Knowing that the punishment for getting caught could be death, just how did they escape? Before modern methods of communication, how did Harriet inform her brothers of her secret plans?
Come meet the wonderful multi-generational cast (ages 6 to 70+) that is bringing this show to life for our third year. A new tradition for the "Go Tell It!" family, we are giving audiences an opportunity to meet and greet cast members and have a Q&A period with Mrs. Taiwo Kujichagulia-Seitu, the writer. Additionally, excerpts from the show will be performed, along with a couple of special guest performances. This is the perfect show to bring students and young children to.
If you wish to see both "Harriet Tubman Learned" AND "Go Tell It!" you can purchase tickets at our discounted bundled rate.
