UNBOUGHT

ArtsFarmington is pleased to offer its next program “UNBOUGHT” on Saturday, February 22, 2025 at 5:00pm at the Emery Performance Space in Farmington with a reception to follow at the North Church. February is Black History Month and March is Women’s HistoryMonth. This makes “Unbought” especially timely. It features the dramatic stories of three African American women played by Tiffany Terrell: Ida B. Wells, journalist and women’s suffrage activist; Sally Hemings, the slave with whom Thomas Jefferson fathered six children; and Shirley Chisholm, the first African American Congresswoman from New York and first African American woman to run for President.

The title of the show derives from Shirley Chisholm’s memoir, “Unbought and Unbossed”. The musical score features jazz, folk, popular and classical works by African American composers as interpreted by a cellist, pianist, and percussionist.

This program contains mature content and may not be suitable for younger children.
