History On Stage

The American Musicals Project at The New-York Historical Society periodically offers enlightening performances designed to supplement students’ experience of learning history inside and outside the classroom. These entertaining and educational performances are presented in the auditorum of the Historical Society in conjunction with The Acting Company, a 2003 TONY Honoree for Excellence in Theatre.

2006 Performances

The American Musicals Project at the New-York Historical Society is proud to present HARRIET’S RETURN for five special student matinee performances on its auditorium stage: Feb 6th at 10am & 12noon. Feb 7th, 8th, & 9th at 10am. Student Tickets $5. Performance includes a question-and-answer session with the performer. Study Guides available for all teachers.

This play is a one-woman interactive show during which students will hear and experience the life of Harriet Tubman. Audiences will travel with her on the underground railroad and be immersed in her tale of becoming, simply, one of the most noted, heroic figures recognized worldwide. Not only does this show educate students, it involves them in the production and encourages a deeper understanding of Harriet Tubman’s life, struggles and this complicated period in the history of America.
