 "The Liberty Lines"

The North Shore Choral Society hosted a standing-room-only crowd for its 2019 Benefit at Evanston's Levy Center on Sunday, April 7. ​An ensemble cast performed "The Liberty Lines: Songs and Stories of the Underground Railroad," an original production that included folk music, spirituals, and first-person narratives.
