"Talkin’ on a
Twenty Dolla Bill" opens with a simple premise: what if Harriet Tubman and
President Andrew Jackson -- the two faces on the front and back of the new $20
dollar bill -- confronted each other in a conversation about race and power?
Written by award-winning poet, playwright, and essayist, Dr. Mary E. Weems,
"Talkin on a Twenty Dolla Bill" is a play about slavery, money, and
corruption where history merges with imagination. Starring India Nicole Burton
as Harriet Tubman and Eric Schmiedl as President Andrew Jackson, this staged
reading is directed by Michael Oatman. Join us for this journey into the
outrageous!
