Harriet Jacobs

A collaboration between Underground Railway Theater and The Providence Black Repertory Company, the East Coast Premiere of Harriet Jacobs (January 7 - January 31) by Lydia R. Diamond brings Harriet Jacobs’ astonishing true story, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl to the stage. The “immensely sophisticated” play about human oppression and how certain people rise above it allows Jacobs to reach out from her own era, and compel us to look at our history as if for the first time in her unsparing, yet poetic coming-of-age story.

Regularly priced tickets for all 2009-2010 season performances are $35 for adults, $25 for seniors, $20 for students, and $15 student rush, when available. The regular schedule for all performances is Wednesdays and Thursdays at 7:30 PM, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 PM, with matinees on Sundays at 2 PM.

There will be a special added Sunday evening performances at 7 PM on January 10. There will be no performances on January 20 and 27.

Subscriptions and single tickets can be purchased over the phone by calling 866-811-4111 or online through www.centralsquaretheater.org
