Allan Harris in Cross That River

On Monday, January 12, 2009 we are pleased to be presenting highlights of Allan Harris' concert/theatrical, CROSS THAT RIVER. After a sold-out performance at the Eugene O'Neill Theater and the Kennedy Center, Cross That River continues to garner acclaim from critics and audiences alike. Recipient of a Grant for 2006-07 from Chamber Music of America, Cross that River was recently viewed by children across America who were able to witness a live performance via satellite thanks to the Kennedy Center's Distance Learning Program.
Cross That River, a groundbreaking concert-theatre production based on the true history of the Black Cowboy in the American West, made its debut at the famed Eugene O’Neill Theater Center in Waterford, Connecticut. This dramatic song cycle was conceived by and stars acclaimed vocalist Allan Harris, who wrote the music and lyrics. The book is by Allan Harris & Pat Harris, and Andrew Carl Wilk. Cross That River is directed by Wilk, a multiple Emmy Award-winning television producer, director, writer, conductor, and media executive. Driven by historical images, this is an inspiring and patriotic story. Available in the full 90 minute version or as a 45 minute children's program, you won't want to miss Cross That River.
