We are now accepting reservations for the Daytime Educational Outreach performance of “Sister Moses.” Book early for best seating!

“Sister Moses” has been a valuable educational tool in bringing history to life for many thousands of students since 1993. Now entering its 18th season of performances, this multi-disciplinary production blends dance, music, drumming and dramatic narration to share the struggles and accomplishments of Harriet Tubman, the anti-slavery activist who escaped from slavery then went back to help over 300 slaves to freedom.  Her incredible story is a source of inspiration to students and adults alike!

The program follows Tubman’s life as a young slave on a Southern Plantation, her attempts to escape slavery, her work on the Underground Railroad, and her contributions to the Abolitionist movement. Slave songs from that period (later known as spirituals) are featured for their significance as a means of passing information among the slaves as vital escape details were hidden in the lyrics.

User-friendly study guides are provided for teachers’ use in preparing students to view the performance. This 45-minute program concludes with a 15-minute question and answer period to allow students to address the performers with their choice of questions about Harriet Tubman’s life, the development and creation of the production or the performers’ experience on stage.
