• Welcome Home! Stories & Songs
Hey there – I’ve always loved having folk stop by our home to visit, share tales and laugh. I want to create that experience on stage. Come to a “Welcome Home” event and become a part of my community.
I’ve been honored to invite you into our life on the screen, but now I want to share the tales that shaped me into the real life mother, wife, sister, creative and friend. Come on in. Have a seat. I’ll tell you tales and maybe you’ll share one or two of yours! This 75 – 90 minute event includes audience interaction.
• Becoming Harriet Tubman
A one-woman show following Ariminta Ross’ evolution from abused, enslaved child to national icon and hero.
Natalie Daise, former host of Nick Jr.’s Gullah Gullah Island, award-winning artist and storyteller, presents “Becoming Harriet Tubman,” a one-person, 5-character show that shares the story of Ariminta Ross’ evolution into Harriet Tubman. Engrossing narrative and original and traditional music trace her transition.
In “Becoming Harriet Tubman,” Daise becomes five characters: the narrator, Harriet Green, the woman who was Ariminta’s first mistress, the field hand who played a role in the traumatic brain injury that haunted Harriet the rest of her life, and, finally, Harriet herself. When the show debuted at Charleston, SC’s Piccolo Spoleto in 2012, it received an A+ rating with the Charleston City Paper saying, “Natalie is a masterful storyteller.”
