There are many plays about Harriet Tubman, but none share her entire life story like a visit with The Spirit of Harriet Tubman. Leslie McCurdy invokes the 'spirit' of Harriet Tubman as she portrays the life of the famous Underground Railroad conductor, recreating stories familiar and some rarely told, using words said to have been Harriet Tubman¹s own. Through it all we learn of the faith and conviction that drove Harriet Tubman to follow her dreams; the spirit of the past connecting with the present, inspiring her charges to have the courage to do the same in envisioning their future.

For 20 Years Leslie has captivated audiences across Canada, The United States and has even played in London England! The Spirit of Harriet Tubman was presented at the 2011 National Black Theatre Festival in Winston-Salem North Carolina, 2012 DC Black Theatre Festival Living Legacy Series, Washington DC, Paul Robeson Art Is A Weapon Solo Play Festival, London England in 2013 and various festivals, Performing Arts Centres, schools and other venues with tens of thousands of audience members being thrilled with Leslie McCurdy's performance. More than one viewer has suggested that it is something everyone should see! Don't miss your chance! Look for a performance near you!

Harriet is My Hero is offered as an accompaniment to The Spirit of Harriet Tubman for in-school performance and is appropriate for students in grades K-2. It explores the characteristics that make Harriet a good hero to emulate in being a hero oneself.  The audience participates in the telling of some aspects of the story and rag dolls are used to help tell the story and illustrate the various stages of Harriet Tubman's life: the young girl "Minty", the young woman learning the skills she would eventually use, the underground railroad conductor, and the elderly caretaker who founded a home for the aged and infirm.
