Fate intervenes and brings her an American Naval Officer and she falls desperately in love. Unaware she is just a distraction to him, she believes they are married and renounces her religion as he sails away promising to return. And he does return, ready to take their child and raise him with his American wife. With her broken heart, she must choose to live with dishonor or die with honor.

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 Tubman’s own. Through it all, we learn of the faith and conviction that drove Harriet Tubman to follow her dreams as the spirit of the past connects with the present, to inspire her charges to have the courage to do the same in envisioning their future. Called “a powerful, must see performance - the whole family can enjoy." “Theatre is at its best when performance intersects reality and resonates with those present. The Spirit of Harriet Tubman is a moving experience, valuable for both its history and its call to continue freedom’s journey.” -DC Theatre Scene, Washington DC “A wrenching and ultimately inspiring narrative leavened by humour…riveting…the indisputable talents of Leslie (Lorraine) McCurdy have seen to that." -Janice Kennedy, The Ottawa Citizen - Ottawa, Ontario, Canada "THE SPIRIT OF HARRIET TUBMAN" will run March 25 and 26, 2024 at 7:30 p.m. and March 26 at 2 p.m. North Coast Repertory Theatre is located at 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach, CA 92075.

"ALL I CAN LEAVE YOU IS THIS GLITTER" refers to more than just material possession but the impression of memories and ephemerality. The exhibition responds to the maximalist visuals of a family party, and its "glitter" or remnants of identity carried through migration while settling in new places. The work reflects subcultures formed in the process of integration in Southern California as it weaves together elements of architecture, personal adornments, and symbolic motifs from the homes of the Latin American diaspora. Reception: April 19, 6 - 8 p.m. Gallery Hours: April 19 - April 26, 2024 Main Gallery, Visual Arts Facility, UC San Diego Visit: visarts.ucsd.edu/news-events/20240419-26_deannabarahona.html
