Allan Harris brings Cross That River, the poignant story of Blue, a-runaway-slave-turned-cowboy to Spruce Peak Arts, Thursday, March 16th at 7PM. Catch the show before it heads to New York for an off-broadway run! The student matinee is sold out, don't miss your chance to catch the evening performance!
The unsettled West of the 1860s provides a new life and new dreams for Blue, a run-away slave, who escapes from slavery to Texas to become one of America's first Black Cowboys. This compelling tale of freedom integrates fiction with historical fact, and each song presents a different page in this complicated chapter of American History.
The story of Blue begins in Louisiana, and with every song of this highly infectious score, the audience is moved further along on Blue's harrowing journey across the Sabine River to freedom in the Wild West. Each song tells a unique story, at times joyful, sometimes tragic, but mostly a poignant chronicle of enduring perseverance.
