From the gifted playwright Kim Hines comes a vivid and dramatic tale
based upon the popular book by Vaunda Nelson. A young girl is given a
rag doll, through whose eyes we see the extremes of slave life—the
cruelty, the love, and the daring escape from slavery via the
Underground Railroad. A great play for Black History Month and for
classroom study and discussion.
SteppingStone Theatre’s mission is to develop the whole child by
using educational theatre programs, and fully staged productions to
build self-esteem, confidence, and a sense of community while
celebrating diversity in a supportive, non-competitive atmosphere.
SteppingStone’s
programs foster creativity, self-expression and self-confidence; teach
children and youth about history, diverse cultures, literature and the
arts while making learning engaging and entertaining; and help to
create in youth a lifelong appreciation for the arts.
