       WHAT WAS IT LIKE TO BE A SLAVE? 




In 1934 the Federal Writers’ Project (an extension of the WPA) set out to find the answer. Hundreds of writers were sent
to interview the few thousand former slaves still living in the U.S. This multimedia “staged documentary” incorporates music and archival photographs along with excerpts from Mr. Kearsley’s Peabody Award nominated National Public
Radio program of the same name, to recreate this neglected chapter of American history. Through much of the slaves
own words, the author will take the audience on a journey, stepping in and out of many diverse characters along the
way.

A Question & Answer session with Mr. Kearsley follows each performance.

VOICES: Those Who Wore The Shoe is an invaluable learning tool that explores slavery and its aftermath in America through the words and music of those who actually experienced the reality of being physically owned…
by another human being.

> Running time, approximately 1 hour
