On Tuesday, June 25th North Park Branch Library will host a performance by the Rivers Institute Traveling Theatre courtesy of The Rivers Institute at Hanover College. The presentation of Nothing Stops This Train, a play about the Underground Railroad, will take place at 4:00 pm and is appropriate for children as well as adults.
Nothing Stops This Train by Terence Boyle tells the story of John and Sarah Tibbets and a slave named Georgina. The play is set in Lancaster Township, home of Eleutherian College, the first college in Indiana to admit students regardless of race or gender. Sarah Tibbets journeys into her own memories and recounts tales of slaves fleeing their masters across the Ohio River with the help of Georgina. Learn “Follow the Drinking Gourd,†an old slave song; observe the hardships and dangers of escaping; and witness the heroes that aided their fellow man.
Admission to this performance is free. For more information, please call (812) 428-8237.
