Freedom Bound is an original play with music
that tells the story of the most important incident
in the history of the Underground Railroad in Ohio.
The show follows the story of Addison White, a slave
who escaped from Kentucky and traveled the Railroad
north to Mechanicsburg. He was befriended by a
farmer and stayed so long that he was discovered by
his former Master. Federal Marshals surrounded the
cabin in the middle of the night. They were prepared
to arrest Addison and return him to slavery, but
over 100 citizens from Mechanicsburg confronted the
Marshals and set him free. Freedom Bound uses
drama, music, riddles and rhyme to bring the
Underground Railroad to life right before your eyes.
