Event Information

With a powerful original score filled with jazz and Black roots music, NORTH is an uplifting story set against the backdrop of the Underground Railroad. Created by composer, musician, and vocalist Ashli St. Armant, this dynamic musical returns to Chandler on the Steena Murray Mainstage after its triumphant debut last year. NORTH follows Lawrence and his mother, Minnie, as they escape the Deep South and travel North through the Underground Railroad to find freedom. With a route that takes them through Louisiana's bayous, the bustling city of New Orleans, and the young town of Lawrence, Kansas, St. Armant's fresh and original music reflects the optimism, bravery, wonder, and suspense of freedom seekers.
