"No Strangers Here Today" was a coded message in the diary of Elizabeth Edwards, a Quaker farmwoman whose family was a link in the clandestine, bi-racial resistance movement, known as the Underground Railroad. Elizabeth's great-great grandaughter, Susan Banyas, teams with jazz composer David Ornette Cherry, to deliver a powerful movement based monologue with live music that links American history, memory, and the activist's spirit. Elizabeth Edwards' diary entries are the heartbeat of this epic American story, evoking imaginative detail of place and time, her motherly concern for her son, a soldier in the Union Army, and the quietly coded references to her political and spiritual activism. The elegant music and movement-spoken word compositions affirm the legacy of the Underground Railroad, a commitment to uphold human rights and oppose economic, political, and personal tyranny by the ruling elite. No Strangers Here Today is written in solidarity with the Ancestors who lived through those times and inspire a vision of connection and call to action.
