A one-woman show following Ariminta Ross’ evolution from abused, enslaved child to national icon and hero.
Natalie Daise, former host of Nick Jr.’s Gullah Gullah Island, award-winning artist and storyteller, presents “Becoming Harriet Tubman,” a one-person, 5-character show that shares the story of Ariminta Ross’ evolution into Harriet Tubman. Engrossing narrative and original and traditional music trace her transition.
In “Becoming Harriet Tubman,” Daise becomes five characters: the narrator, Harriet Green, the woman who was Ariminta’s first mistress, the field hand who played a role in the traumatic brain injury that haunted Harriet the rest of her life, and, finally, Harriet herself. When the show debuted at Charleston, SC’s Piccolo Spoleto in 2012, it received an A+ rating with the Charleston City Paper saying, “Natalie is a masterful storyteller.”
