The singer-songwriter duo of Kim and Reggie Harris will be at the University at 11 a.m. Nov. 16 to perform Music and the Underground Railroad as part of the Edison Theatre ovations! for young people series.
The show combines songs, stories and spoken narratives with singalongs, audience participation and multimedia presentation to explore a critical period in American history.

The singer-songwriter duo have been composing their own music and delighting audiences across the nation for more than 25 years. Their songs and stories both cover contemporary and historical issues and encourage audiences to laugh, learn and interact.

Music and the Underground Railroad recalls one of the most remarkable chapters in American history, expressing the "hope, power and ingenuity of an enslaved people who used their traditions, passions and resources to express their faith, strengthen their relationships and communicate important information that led many of them to freedom."

The ovations! for young people series brings nationally recognized performing artists to St. Louis for affordably priced, family-friendly matinees. The series complements the Edison OVATIONS! Series, which sponsors a wide range of music, dance and theatrical events.

Tickets for Music and the Underground Railroad are $7 and available through the Edison Theatre Box Office, 935-6543, and through all MetroTix outlets. For more information call 935-6543.
