Smedley and other period journalists. Originally premiering in 2008, this retelling of Rachel’s story illustrates how, during a dark time in American history, many people of varying backgrounds took risks and contributed to the pursuit of freedom. This project brings history to life with a regionally significant story that engages the audience through dance, projected historical images, live and recorded music, percussion, and narration. Especially as we prepare to celebrate the nation’s 250th birthday and partner with the Chester County America250 PA Commission, it is important to unify people and uplift their senses with truth-telling through art.5pm Doors6pm ShowReviews:“My heart soared when Rachel Harris concluded in a vibrant celebration drawing from African dance, and I wondered why this outing at the Performance Garage was my first time seeing this work. Despite a distance of only 40 miles, West Chester can seem like a world away from Philadelphia. A unique work of dance theater with powerful themes relating to the past and the present, WCDW’s Rachel Harris is an important and moving work that deserves a wider audience.” Broad Street Review, June 2025“A friend and I attended your splendid production last night, and both of us were delighted! The dancing was superb, of course, but we thought the blending of elements was so effective - the projected photos, the lighting, the music, the narration. All of it worked together, complementing the dance, to make for a moving experience. Also, speaking as one who's interested in the Underground RR from a historical point of view, I appreciated your sticking to the facts. It’s a dramatic, thrilling story, needing no embellishment. Thanks, Diane, for a most impressive job!
