New Play

African American filmmaker Marvalee Peart makes her playwriting debut with this searing history of the birth of the Civil Rights movement for Black History Month. Set during the lead-up to the Civil War, Northbound examines the stories of some of the movement's most prominent voices and trailblazers, this is the lives of Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubmann, Abraham Lincoln and more in their own words, recreated with passion and in remarkable and moving detail.

When the nation is on fire, great leaders are formed as was the case during this turbulent time in history, when so many gave everything they had for liberty, love, freedom and happiness. Experience the most eloquent of Lincoln's speeches, alongside the fight for escape of Tubmann and Douglass as they fled North on the Underground Railway. As the climate around us once again becomes harder to navigate, their stories and actions are more timely and important than ever.
