The Spirit of Harriet Tubman (award-winning 1-woman show)

THE SPIRIT OF HARRIET TUBMAN, is a vibrant beacon of hope and resilience. A breathtaking theatrical tour-de-force where the spirit of Tubman transcends time, sharing both well-known tales and hidden narratives, all delivered through words believed to be Tubman's own.


“The Spirit of Harriet Tubman” written and performed by actress Leslie McCurdy invokes the 'spirit' of Harriet Tubman. She portrays the life of the famous Underground Railroad conductor, recreating stories familiar and some rarely told, using words said to have been Harriet Tubman¹s own. Through it all we learn of the faith and conviction that drove Harriet Tubman to follow her dreams; the spirit of the past connecting with the present, inspiring her charges to have the courage to do the same in envisioning their future.


For 25+ Years Leslie has captivated audiences across Canada, The United States and has even played in London England! The Spirit of Harriet Tubman was presented at the 2011 National Black Theatre Festival in Winston-Salem North Carolina, 2012 DC Black Theatre Festival Living Legacy Series, Washington DC, Paul Robeson Art Is A Weapon Solo Play Festival, London England in 2013 and various festivals, Performing Arts Centers, schools and other venues with tens of thousands of audience members being thrilled with Leslie McCurdy's performance. More than one viewer has suggested that it is something everyone should see!
