Please join us for a moving and joyous celebration of the struggle for freedom and triumph over adversity through theatre and music.
The enduring power of liberation imagery in the early American consciousness comes to life through works by William Billings (1746 – 1800), Stephen Jenks (1772 – 1856), early spirituals and Shaker hymns performed with historical texts selected from abolitionist writings and slave and suffragette narratives, including selections from Solomon Northup, Twelve Years a Slave.
Fraunces Tavern, the first site of the American government, sets the stage for starkly beautiful American repertoire.
"Salon/Sanctuary’s smartly constructed and affecting presentation of Exodus: Dreams of the Promised Land in Antebellum America...built to some crescendos worthy of a Broadway stage."
