Underground Railway Theater, in collaboration with The Providence Black Repertory Company, stages the astonishing East Coast Premiere of one woman's resistance to oppression.
To escape a predatory master, Harriet Jacobs hid in a crawlspace for seven years before
eventually escaping to Cambridge, MA. This unsparing yet poetic coming-of-age story is
based on her groundbreaking slave narrative.
Pricing:
Adults - $35
Seniors - $25
Students (with valid ID) - $20
Student Rush (day of) - $15
I have just come from seeing this production myself, and I must say that the way that this play is brought to its audience is astounding! A show that is written for the apples of the eye of youth and food for thought for adults.
There are 2 more showings left in Boston, MA. The first is on Saturday the 30th at 3PM and the last show is on Sunday the 31st at 7PM. Tickets are $35 and can be bought at Central Square Theater . Also enjoy the book that tells the whole story.
