PROGRAM NOTE
1864. A plantation Near Texarkana, Arkansas. A young enslaved woman named Priscilla flees with her newborn baby. Chased by her enslavers and desperate, she knocks on the doors of nearby houses for help to no avail. She places the baby inside a hollow tree, hiding a small bag of luck within the child’s clothing. Moments later, Priscilla is shot and killed. The infant is found and adopted by Monisha and Ned who name her Treemonisha and raise her as their own.
The overture concludes with the entrance of adult Treemonisha, twenty years later on her wedding day, sitting peacefully reading beneath the very tree her mother left her with hopes for her survival.
