Learn About History With A Harriet Tubman Performer

By Brenda Scott


Whenever you are taking a vacation, it is always nice to go somewhere that is highly unique and different than anywhere else you could go back home. Particularly if you are going to anywhere in Auburn, New York, which many know as the historic birthplace as well as the final resting place of this historic woman, not to mention anywhere that lies along the original Underground Railroad, then you will definitely want to see if there is a harriet tubman performer in the area. It can do a lot to add more meaning to the fun trip that you are having.

The best way to find an actress who is going to do a really good job at this is by going with one who has been doing this kind of thing for a long time. These experienced performers will know how to avoid making those mistakes that the beginners tend to make. That is why you will always want to make sure you do not go with anyone who is trying this out for the first time if this is supposed to be a professional level show.

An actress playing this part will have such a better time with it if she just does a bit of research. The more you learn about the history, the more meaningful this kind of performance will become. That is the way that so many actresses playing this part have brought audience members to tears because of really knowing the historic weight of what she is saying.

Without the right outfit, it would be impossible to play this part right. Choosing to do a period piece means investing in a lot of props and costumes that look like they are from that right period in time. Sometimes, it might be nice to make the costume yourself to add deeper meaning to them.

History is something that many people find dry and boring. If you are one of these people, you might try seeing a show like this where all of the details will seem so much richer to you. It is a good way to get young people interested about this very important period in time.

With historic performances, you might find them in a number of different settings. When they are done onstage, usually there are rehearsed scenes that are played out. When it is in an interactive format, the people who visit can ask any question that comes to mind, so the actress has to be prepared and very versatile.

Nothing is more important than learning all of your lines properly. It is horrible to have the illusion broken for the audience when you fumble over a word or break character. Even in the event of messing up, it is the recovery that really matters the most.

Sometimes, costumes like these can be quite hot. Other times, a role like this might be very physical. No matter what, the performers should always stay well-hydrated, especially when performing out in the heat.
