Next Page Series event tells story of Harriet Tubman

The Underground Railroad Theatre will present “Are You Ready My Sister” Friday, Jan. 15, as the next Page Series event.

The story of how Harriet Tubman helped free 300 slaves will come to life at 6:30 p.m. in Page Theatre.

This historical adventure story of the “great conductor” of the Underground Railroad, and the Quaker women who helped her bring 300 slaves to freedom, features live music based on spirituals of the time, dramatic scenes, and audience participation. The set, a giant patchwork quilt, unfolds the story; each square of the quilt comes to life with shadow puppets and illuminated scenery.

Tickets are $12 for adults and $5 for seniors and students and are available at the box office, 457-1715, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday or online at www.pagetheatre.org.
