Opening February 6!

Home on the Mornin’ Train

By Kim Hines / Directed by Siddeeqah Shabazz

February 6 – 22, 2026

In this powerful, music-filled drama, the lives of Jewish children in hiding and African-American children fleeing slavery are woven together in a parallel journey of courage and survival. As the Jewish children plan their escape to Denmark, they draw strength from the story of Brave Mary, a teenage runaway slave on the Underground Railroad. Their stories unfold across time and place, revealing a shared resilience and reminding us that the fight for freedom and justice is a universal and ongoing struggle.                                                                                                                                                       Recommended for Grade 4 and up
