One Noble Journey: A Box Marked Freedom is the true story about enslaved African American Henry “Box” Brown. At the age of 33, he is bequeathed to his master’s son, who sends him to work in his tobacco factory in Richmond, Virginia. When Brown witnesses his wife and children taken from him and sold to another state, he reaches his breaking point and devises an escape plan that would have him sealed in a small wooden box and shipped to friends and to freedom in Philadelphia. Presented by Mike Wiley, One Noble Journey runs March 26-April 22, 2022 at Children's Theatre of Charlotte.
