On Wednesday, March 13, all GCPS 3rd grade students took a trip to TC Walker Education Center to attend the Virginia Repertory Theatre production of Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad. The production was the final one in the series for the theatre troop, which they were very excited to perform at the TC Walker Education Center. The students were wonderfully engaged audience participants and were on the edges of their seats during the production. At the end of the production, students asked insightful questions about Harriet Tubman’s life and how this production impacted each member of the theatre troop. GCPS would like to thank Concerts by the Bay for providing the financial support to bring this production to our students by way of funding they received through the Gloucester Community Foundation.
