NORTH The Musical
Grades 4-8
A powerful new musical set in the 1850s about a teenage boy and his mother who escape slavery in the deep south through the Underground Railroad. With an original score steeped in jazz and other historically Black music genres, NORTH is a moving story that explores the multi-faceted reality of Black life during the antebellum period. Explore the realities of slavery with powerful themes of optimism, bravery, playfulness, wonder, suspense, and mystery. Journey from rural Louisiana to the bustling city of New Orleans, a Maroons community in the Louisiana bayous, and the young town of Lawrence, Kansas in this story inspired by true accounts of escape through the Underground Railroad.
LBC performance may not include pieces from above video.

Extend and enrich your field trip to LBC with a self-guided tour of our outdoor Sculpture Garden!
Students can safely explore our outdoor Sculpture Garden the main exhibits as well as the landscape, bridges, and walkways. Its giant oak trees offer shady seating where classes can discuss their recent experience as consumers of the arts.
LBC opened the Sculpture Garden in 2015 as a gift to our North Bay community. With the support of Sutter Hospital and other generous donors, the Sculpture Garden presents rotating works from contemporary regional artists who create monumental outdoor art that becomes incorporated into the landscaped natural setting.
The LBC’s current exhibition for the outdoor Sculpture Garden, Thousand Ways: A Work in Progress is running now through September 2023. Our new exhibition will be open near the end of September 2023!
You can sign up for a self-guided tour right on your School Show application or email us.
