Description
Natural History Museum Baird Auditorium

(for ages 5-11) The Underground Railway Theater Company, one of the nation's finest puppet companies, presents the story of Harriet Tubman, the "conductor" who led slaves to freedom on the Underground Railroad. The story is told using a giant patchwork quilt; as the plot unfolds, each square of the quilt comes to life with exquisite shadow-puppets and beautiful painted back-lit scenery. This show includes audience participation and live music based on spirituals of the slave era. Celebrates Black History Month.
Note: $6, adults; $5, children (ages 2-16); $4, Resident Members.
