The window to purchase tickets for this show has closed. Tickets may still be available at the door.
In solidarity with the National Day of Racial Healing, and in partnership with the Great Plains Theatre Commons and the Urban League, Home X Noir will present a staged reading of One More River to Cross: A Verbatim Fugue, adapted by Lynn Nottage and directed by Denise Chapman, at the Shelterbelt Theatre. Nottage’s play condenses interviews of emancipated slaves and intertwines them, creating a narrative that follows the course of slavery in America from Africa to the Civil War and beyond. Admission is free, but reservations are recommended.
