About The Harriets

Travel through time with World Stunt reporter Nellie Bly (Anne Pasquale) as she interviews abolitionist and author of "Uncle Tom's Cabin"  Harriet Beecher Stowe (Emma Palzere-Rae) in 1864, when Beecher Stowe comes to her new home in Hartford, Connecticut. Learn of her struggles and successes as she became an internationally-known author, while raising seven children all the while changing the course of our nation’s history.

Then travel forward to early 1913 - just days before the death of a General of the Underground Railroad, Harriet Tubman (Constance Winston) as she discusses her struggles and talk about the need for ALL WOMEN to get the vote!  Be ready for a wide-ranging discussion about the enslaved, the vote for women and the state of our Union. 

The Harriets will even answer your questions!

Based on the plays, Aunt Hattie's House and They Called Me Minty:  Harriet Tubman in Her Own Words​ the concept was created by Anne Pasquale (An Evening with Nellie Bly).
