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.
