A HIP-HOP MUSICAL ABOUT PETER SPENCER

Big Quarterly ignites the stage with hip-hop, gospel, and dance, revealing the untold story of Peter Spencer. Once enslaved, he rose to found the nation’s first Black church and the Big Quarterly freedom festival, a haven for the Underground Railroad. Against all odds, facing outer powers and inner demons, Spencer changed American history. Big Quarterly brings his revolution to life.
