Cross That River

Coming to The Lyric Theatre straight from New York City, gather around the campfire to join Allan Harris and the Cross That River Band as they tell the story of American’s West from the perspective of the African American cowboys who journeyed from slavery to freedom out West. “If I was going to live, I had to cross that river,” Harris tells. Interweaving fiction with historical fact, Harris and the band speak in first person, sing the story’s themes, and showcase iconic images that help to tell the story.
