Arts Education • 48m
Finding North is a one-man play drawn from historical research and oral histories that brings to the stage powerful stories of the yearning, sacrifices and dreams of the African-American Underground Railroad hero John P. Parker, as well as contemporary American immigrants. Performed by Daniel Carlton, text and music by David Gonzalez.
This program is offered to our CHQ Assembly audience by way of a Chautauqua Arts Education partnership with David Gonzalez.
