Kansas City Rep continues its Chicago connection with a play first presented at the Windy City’s Steppenwolf Theatre. Harriet Jacobs is the dramatization of the life of an extraordinary, though largely unremembered, historical personage. The woman was born a slave, yet became a teacher, an entrepreneur and a writer. In addition, she spent years as an avid and tireless speaker and advocate for improving the lives of runaway slaves and free blacks.
