Miniaci To Feature ‘Cross That River – A Story of a Black Cowboy’

NSU’s Miniaci Performing Arts Center will stage the musical production of “Cross That River-The Story of a Black Cowboy” on Feb. 7 at the Rose and Alfred Miniaci Performing Arts Center from 7 to 9 p.m.

The popular production, written by award-winning jazz musician, vocalist and songwriter Allan Harris, tells the often-untold story of the “Black West” and its inspiring story of hope and freedom.

The unsettled West of the 1860s provides a new life and new dreams for Blue, a runaway slave, who escapes from slavery to Texas to become one of America’s first Black cowboys. The compelling tale of freedom integrates fiction with historical fact, and each song presents a different page in a complicated chapter of American history.

There are 50 free seats available to attend this program. Tickets are available by registering at lib.nova.edu/ctrfreetix.
