About the Show

A previously enslaved woman attempts to reunite with her family after the end of the US Civil War.

In 1859 Prince George's County, MD, Hannah – a relatively content enslaved woman, has her world turned upside down when her master dies and she, for the first time, is forced apart from her family, new husband, and child. But, just as she starts to lose all hope to ever see her family again, the seceded South falls to the Union, the enslaved are freed thanks to the 13th Amendment, and Hannah has the opportunity to put her family back together...if she can find them.

Featuring performances by Brittany Davis, Kara Green, LeVane Harrington, Mark Hofmaier, Steven Makropoulos, David Roberts.

Pathos, Important, Educational, Heartwrenching, Absorbing

See it if This show was brilliant! It touched me on an emotional level. I felt anger, despair, empathy, and finally happiness, albeit bittersweet.

Don't see it if I didn't like the fact that this story was based on historical truth. This was indeed the way life was for blacks in the South. Read more
