Freedom Bound

Freedom Bound is a musical play that transports the audience to pre-Civil war America and follows a slave, Addison White, as he escapes from slavery and embarks on a journey to freedom through the Underground Railroad. While in Mechanicsburg, Ohio, White befriends a white farmer by the name of Udney Hyde, who provides White with work and a place to stay.  White’s owner discovers his whereabouts and demands his return. Freedom Bound illustrates the Underground Railroad participants’ willingness and persistence to fight and protect people who were in a situation of humanistic violation.
