MONROE — The Monroe Arts Center will present The Spirit of Harriet Tubman featuring Leslie McCurdy at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 26.

McCurdy invokes the “spirit” of Harriet Tubman as she portrays the life of the famous Underground Railroad conductor, recreating stories familiar and some rarely told, using words said to have been Harriet Tubman’s own. Through it all the audience learns of the faith and conviction that drove Harriet Tubman to follow her dreams; the spirit of the past connecting with the present, inspiring her charges to have the courage to do the same in envisioning their future.  

Tickets are on sale now. For more information, call 608-325-5700 or visit monroeartscenter.com.

The performance has been supported by MAC Corporate Underwriter Colony Brands, Inc. and Season Media Underwriter Big Radio, with additional support from SSM Health Monroe, Deb Thompson, Bill and Elaine Bethke, Horst and Mary Alice Hart, Mike and Deb Hutchinson, Robert and Nan Rudd.
