This past week, our theater class had the opportunity to see the off-broadway performance Harriet’s Return. The play focused on the personal life and accomplishments of Harriet Tubman and the underground railroad.
Upon entrance to the theater, I was shocked to see how small it was. When I envisioned how the performance setting would be, I imagined it would be much larger, seating at least 200 guests. However the 4 rows the theater had made it feel much more inclusive and home-like, almost as if it were a private showing. Additionally, the beautiful scene on stage immediately caught my attention. The darkness and natural scenery reminded me of the film Avatar, specifically the colors and woodsy feel. The small stage and theater made the play
