Freedom Bound is an original play that tells the tale of Addison White, a slave who escaped from Kentucky and traveled the Underground Railroad to Mechanicsburg, OH. There, he was befriended and hidden by Udney Hyde, a suspected abolitionist. Federal marshals surrounded Hyde’s cabin in the middle of the night to arrest Addison but 100 citizens from Mechanicsburg confronted the marshals and demanded that they set Addison free.
Freedom Bound uses drama and music, as well as riddles and rhyme, to create characters that emerge from the past and bring the Underground Railroad to life right before your eyes. |
