About the Show
Home on the Mornin’ Train tells two parallel stories of courage and hope. One follows Jewish children hiding during World War II, while the other centers on African-American children escaping slavery via the Underground Railroad. Through song and storytelling, the show explores themes of freedom, resilience, and the universal desire for safety and home.
The production is designed to be engaging and accessible for young audiences while still offering depth and emotional impact for adults.
