The Spirit of Harriet Tubman
Sep 26, 7:30 PM – 9:30 PM
Overview
Written and performed by Leslie McCurdy
Step into a powerful one-woman performance that brings history to life through the voice of Harriet Tubman herself. On a simple stage with only a trunk of costumes, acclaimed performer Leslie McCurdy transforms before your eyes, using Tubman’s own words to tell a story of courage, resilience, and unbreakable resolve.
From her earliest memories of enslavement to her daring escape and fearless return to guide others to freedom, Tubman’s journey unfolds with raw honesty and emotional depth. Audiences follow her path along the Underground Railroad, witness her work as a Union spy during the Civil War, and discover her lifelong commitment to justice and community.
This immersive performance traces Tubman’s life from childhood through her later years, capturing both the hardships she endured and the remarkable legacy she built. Through vivid storytelling, sometimes in her own words, her spirit rises from the past and speaks directly to today.
Equal parts educational and deeply moving, The Spirit of Harriet Tubman invites audiences of all ages to experience history not as something distant, but as something felt, lived, and remembered.
