“Freedom Train” tells the thrilling story of Harriet Tubman, the intrepid conductor of the Underground Railroad, in a fascinating series of highly theatrical scenes that use dance, dialogue, and traditional music of the period. Tubman was born a slave, but when she was 25 she made her perilous escape from a Maryland plantation. Pursued by dogs and relentless slave catchers, she followed an escape route laid out by Quakers – secret hiding places in churches, barns, cellars and homes. The escape route that Tubman followed soon became known as the Underground Railroad. In the dark of night Tubman made 19 secret trips up creek beds and through swamps, guiding more than 300 slaves to freedom. “Freedom Train” is a story of self-sacrifice, dedication, and survival, laced with warmth and a sense of humor that celebrates the human spirit.

Performance at The Florida Theatre is located at 128 East Forsyth St in Jacksonville, Fl.
