BEYOND THE RIVER: A PERFORMANCE IN WORDS AND MUSIC
BEYOND THE RIVER in words and music was an hour long performance based on the regional best seller Beyond the River by Ann Hagedorn (Simon and Schuster, 2002). The book and performance tells the story of the first stop on the "Ripley Line" of the Underground Railroad. Receiving an award and a statewide tour from the Ohio Humanities Council, the performance features Ann Hagedorn reading her work and original songs written and performed by Allen Schwartz.
