September: The Spirit of Harriet Tubman
The Spirit of Harriet Tubman is a one-woman play about the leader of the Underground Railroad. Ms. Tubman was an abolitionist and political activist who was born into slavery in the 1820's. She personally led enslaved people to freedom and facilitated the escape of many others. She also supported the women's suffrage movement. Harriet Tubman is portrayed by Diane Faison, a celebrated actress, storyteller, visual artist, and writer who created this original work based upon past events.
This performance will take place on Sunday, September 27th at 3:00PM at the Intergenerational Center for Arts and Wellness, 114 W. 30th Street, Winston-Salem, NC 27105.

40+ Stage Company believes in the transformative power of theater. Our play selection focuses on issues of intergenerational concern and relevance to our community today. We want to provide actors of all ages with opportunities to perform in meaningful, challenging roles. As an amateur company, we are committed to the highest standards of performance.
Our outreach program extends to organizations provide services and moral support to the aging. Acting, as a performance art form, requires engaging with others and practicing and honing listening skills, memory reliability, and introspection. A creative lifestyle in the afternoon years has a demonstrative positive effect in overcoming depression, isolation, addiction, and a host of conditions often associated with growing older.
