This riveting one-person play performed by Mike Wiley tells the true story of Henry “Box” Brown, a slave from Louisa County, Virginia, who escaped bondage by mailing himself to freedom in a small wooden box. Brown’s life unfolds like a Mark Twain adventure—perilous and somber at times, while humorous and heroic throughout. Audience members will join Wiley on stage, becoming pivotal players who help propel the historic action. $15 Adults • $10 Students Related Events: African Tales Family Day Saturday, Feb 1, 2014, 2:00 PM – 4 PM Piedmont Arts Twenty Fifth National African America Read-In Saturday, Feb 8, 2:00 – 4:00 PM Piedmont Arts
