A great untold American story, set on the Kansas frontier. The play tells the story of the founding of a town named Quindaro, created in 1856 in the true spirit of the American dream, where whites, blacks and Native Americans worked together in a shining chapter in American history.

Based on the lives of actual residents, the play is a sweeping epic of the infamous “bleeding Kansas” era, in which the treacherous waters of the Missouri river had to be crossed for runaway slaves to escape from the South to freedom. Built on the shores of free Kansas, the town was founded by whites from New England, on land bequeathed by Native Americans, for the purpose of aiding slaves northward. It became an outpost of liberty for them all. The play dramatically portrays the vision of these three diverse groups who came together to build a town which stood for unity and freedom over a hundred years ago.
