The National Audio Theatre Festivals, Inc. is proud to announce the first piece in the 2010 Audio Theatre Workshop live performance, in association with The State Historical Society of Missouri’s MoHiP (Missouri History in Performance): the world-premiere audio adaptation of William Wells Brown’s Leap for Freedom, based on the writings of William Wells Brown.
Originally adapted for MoHiP by playwright and Missouri University Theatre professor Cheryl Black, Leap explores the life of abolitionist Brown, an escaped slave who later worked with the Underground Railroad before becoming a writer and lecturer, combined with portions of his play The Escape, the first play from an African American published in America. Ms. Black will adapt the piece to audio with NATF director Renee Pringle.
