Ms. Briley- Strand's captivating performance makes every audience member search within their own hearts to see how they can continue the work of this great woman Harriet Tubman The Chosen One starts with the audience in real time. Ms. Briley-Strand gives her audience a brief description of who Harriet Tubman was and why we celebrate her as a great American hero. She then teaches the audience Ms. Tubman's signature song, Go Down Moses. She explains the significance this and many of the Negro spirituals had in the lives of enslaved people and the significance these songs had in the secret workings of the Underground Railroad. Next Ms. Briley-Strand asked her audience to close their eyes and travel back in time with her as she becomes Harriet Tubman and as they become runaway fugitives. Together they travel, on the Underground Railroad, to freedom in the North. Throughout the play, you will meet many people that both helped and hindered Harriet Tubman throughout her journeys. You'll meet Harriet Tubman's father, Benjamin Ross and hear how he teaches her how to use her senses to discern her environment, as she travels through the woods and swamps. You'll meet Ms. Tubman's masters and the white people her masters rented her out to. You'll meet her husband, John Tubman and some of her brothers. You'll meet some of the abolitionists, both white and black that helped her along the way. The costuming and props in Harriet Tubman The Chosen One are a vital part of the performance. Watch as Ms. Briley-Strand uses hats, pipes, glasses, shawls, handkerchiefs and whips to change into many different characters. Harriet Tubman The Chosen One allows you, the audience to have an educational experience you will remember for years to come.
