In honor of Black History Month, the Garfield Center for the Arts opens its theatrical season with Voices of Freedom, an historical theatre piece based on the lives of former slaves interviewed during the 1930s as part of the Federal Writers’ Project and preserved in the WPA Slave Narrative Collection. The show will run two days only, Friday February 12 and Saturday, February 13 at 8 pm.
This theatrical interpretation is written and directed by Tamika Hall and under the musical direction of Tee Tunnell Harris, with Joyelle Johnson facilitating. The cast includes Terrelle Hall, as Bill sims, Ty Bolden as Caroline Hammond, Capri Pritty Lee as Temple Cummings, Teran Goldsborough a John Fields, Andraya Sudler as the Singing Slave Child, Anari Hall as Salve Child, and Damien Ransome as Narrator.
If ever there were a way to learn of the everyday lives, emotions, and thoughts of the American slave, the narratives are perhaps the most accurate accounts. Be transported in time through first-hand accounts, music and song.
Tickets are $15, students with ID $5, and are available on line at www.GarfieldCenter.org, or call the box office at 410 810 2060
