[#BLACKPLAY] Tubman A one woman play by Lacresha Berry Wednesday, March 31st | 7:30pm  I, Too Arts Collective | The Langston Hughes House | 20 East 127th Street New York, New York 10035  Admission: $20 | $10 students  For tickets, visit itooarts.com/calendar-of-events-1/  Twitter | IG:@airtubman Facebook fan page: facebook.com/airtubman/

TUBMAN, Berry’s new one woman show, presents the story of Harriet Tubman reimagined as a young woman growing up in Harlem through a theatrical lens. The performance will take the inspirational story of Harriet in the 19th century and places her in the 21st century; laced with the problems facing African-American youth all over the country, focusing specifically on the mistreatment of black girls in schools.

‘I learned of Harriet Tubman superficially in high school and college. I knew she was a famous conductor on the underground railroad but I didn’t know she was a mother, wife, scout, spy, and fighter for the lives of elderly people. I have been researching her life for the past year or so and discovering her many sides compelled me to take on telling her invigorating story,’ Berry states.

The play examines the centuries old fight with race, gender, and equality through a theatrical lens centered around the most influential woman leaders in American history. Poetry, monologue, and revolutionary music will aid in telling young Harriet's story. The performance will help benefit students and leaders searching to find their voice and searching to take an active role in defining their place through social justice theater in a racially divided country.

‘Hearing only about her strength is merely one sided. So, I took matters into my own hands and developed a unique perspective as a teacher in Harlem. How would the youth hear this story in a new and modern way? Even though she lived from 1820-1913, the issues that plagued her, still plague us today. What would happen if a young woman like Harriet became a leader in this new world? Would her struggle be the same? Would she know her power?’ Berry continues.

This story is unique in content, yet all-inclusive when it comes to the lessons learned, shared and taught. TUBMAN is a one-woman show with four original songs that evoke the ideas of freedom, flight, and courage. It is a history lesson and a musical wrapped into one dynamic show! It is a historical adventure and homage to our American heritage and ancestors. It teaches us that we are beyond just beautiful, but powerful, too.

‘When physically, mentally, and spiritually healthy, we are genuinely strong, strong enough to utilize the arts as therapy and to push through and break down societal barriers and personal challenges. Finding my voice in the arts saved my life. When my father passed, I wrote an album for him, honoring his life. Without the words and songs given to me, I wouldn't have woken up from sadness and depression. This is what my work is all about. I look forward to changing lives one song, one lyric, one verse, one stanza at a time!’ Berry states.
