Allan Harris presents Cross That River

Cross That River

Event Date:

February 16, 2024

Event Time:

6:00 pm

Event Location:

Civic Hall

Allan Harris has created an epic song cycle portraying the life and struggles of an African-American cowboy during the slavery and early Reconstruction years. Cross That River represents a significant moment in American History, and tells a story that’s never been told. The unsettled West of the 1860s provides a new life and new dreams for Blue, a run-away slave, who escapes from slavery to Texas to become one of America’s first Black Cowboys. This compelling tale of freedom integrates fiction with historical fact, and each song presents a different page in this complicated chapter of American History. The story of Blue begins in Louisiana, and with every song of this highly-infectious score, the audience is moved further along on Blue’s harrowing journey across the Sabine River to freedom in the Wild West. Each song tells a unique story, at times joyful, sometimes tragic, but mostly a poignant chronicle of enduring perseverance.
