This unique theatrical experience combines traditional music and drama to honor the heroic figures of America’s Underground Railroad. Those Americans that dared to go against a nation in order to stand-up for what they knew was right. From Harriet Tubman and the Abolition Movement to Levi Coffin and the inspiring tale of Henry “Box” Brown, this play introduces your students to those that bravely brought light to America’s darkest chapter. Accessible! Educational! Inspiring! This is the third year of this nationally touring production!

This production is best appreciated for grades 3rd and higher!
