Play to highlight heroine Harriet Tubman Halton Museum Foundation presents The Spirit of Harriet Tubman on Wednesday March 8, at 10 a.m. and 12:15 p.m. at the John Elliott Theatre in Georgetown. The show is approximately one hour in length, followed by a Q&A with award-winning actress Leslie McCurdy. Limited tickets, $7, remain and are now being offered to the general public. Call the Museum at 905875-2200 ext. 21. McCurdy's one-woman show retells the story of Harriet Tubman-- the name synonymous with courage and freedom for so many. Born into slavery in Maryland, Harriet Tubman not only ran away alone to escape slavery, she returned to the south 19 times to lead over 300 other slaves to freedom. On a barren stage with only a trunkful of costumes, the Harriet Tubman story is retold from her early childhood to elder years. Using Harriet's own words, the story takes the audience through her solo flight from slavery, her involvement with the Underground Railroad, her victorious rescue mission during the civil war and her continued commitment to others in later years. McCurdy wrote this passionate story of one woman's faith, courage and determination and has performed it across North America. The Spirit of Harriet Tubman is one of a number of fund-raising events held throughout the year by the Halton Museum Foundation. Proceeds are directed to the Halton Region Museum Building Fund with the current goal being to build an on-site Artifact Centre to house the Museum's extensive collection.
