Harriet Tubman- A Collective Consciousness Production (Grades 3-6)

What the students of West Hill Elementary in Rocky Hill are saying about this program:  "I liked the way the actress moved across the river.  It made me feel like I was actually in the river when she (Harriet) was escaping."  "The actress used different voice to become other characters".  "I felt that I was right alongside Harriet in the field and in the water". The teachers stated, "This was a powerful presentation", "The actress was talented and engaging", "This presentation added a new dimension to our study of the South".


Harriet Tubman, Written by Dexter J. Singleton

A one-woman performance with Tamara Malowitz that introduces students to a young Harriet Tubman as she retells her life story: born into slavery to becoming one of history's most inspiring heroines. This lively and spirited performance teaches students about the life of a slave, the inner workings of the Underground Railroad, Harriet's role in the Civil War, and her passion for a right she felt that all living souls deserved, freedom. The show features drumming and gospel music and multiple characters performed by one actress.

Length: 45 minutes


Single Performance: $695
