THE ROXY PRESENTS: FREEDOM TRAIN

PHOTOGRAPHY AND STORY BY TONY CENTONZE Roxy Regional Theatre recently presented Freedom Train, the story of Harriet Tubman and her escape through what came to be known as the Underground Railroad and led to her becoming one of its most celebrated “conductors.”

The play is a story of self-sacrifice, dedication and survival, laced with warmth and a sense of humor that celebrates the human spirit. This universal story for all ages and races is described as a fascinating series of highly theatrical scenes that use dance, dialogue, mime and music of the period.
