Freedom Train Produced by Express Children’s Theatre

In 1845, a courageous mother and daughter escape slavery on a Texas plantation and embark on a dangerous journey south to Mexico — where slavery has already been abolished. Inspired by true events, this powerful play reveals a rarely told chapter in American history.
For 31 years Express Children’s Theatre has been delighting children on the Hill with interactive plays that celebrate and ignite a love for learning. Each performance is written with the hearts and minds of children at the forefront and performed by incredible local talent.
