SUMMARY:"Dulcimer Diaries" Tells the Story of 19th-Century Abolitionist Joh
 n Brown
DESCRIPTION:\nSat 10/11 @ 8PM\nSun 10/12 @ 2PM\nWhite abolitionist John Bro
 wn was driven by his Christian evangelical faith to oppose slavery in the 
 U.S. but he also believed “by any means necessary” including violence.
  He organized the legendary slave uprising at Harper’s Ferry\, Virginia\
 , in 1859\, and was executed for doing so.\nJohn Brown: The Dulcimer Diari
 es is a new “musical/radio play” that focuses on Brown and the era he 
 lived in: the polarization in the mid 1800s between abolitionists and thos
 e who believed slave-owning was valid\, reflecting the polarization in our
  country today. The piece explores the life and times of Brown and those w
 ho influenced and supported him\, both black and white.\nThe script was wr
 itten by actor/director/dancer/educator Treva Offutt who directed Karamu
 ’s current production\, Sistas. The music was written by Craig Matis\, w
 ho created the multi-media experimental music ensemble Uzizi. Offutt and M
 atis co-wrote the lyrics for the piece which will have two performances at
  Dunham Tavern Museum this weekend.\nIn a sign of the times\, a friend tol
 d CoolCleveland\, “I just learned last night that the White House told t
 he staff at the Harpers Ferry to take down any sign that references the in
 stitution of slavery in America\, which makes one wonder what the purpose 
 of the national park will be\, at this point?”\nGet tickets here.\njohn-
