Freeport Theatre Festival presents “Massey Harbison”, written and directed by Rennick Steele. Inspired by the “Captivity Narrative of Massey Harbison”, this historical drama recreates the life of a genuine pioneer heroine, a Freeporter, who with grit, determination and faith survived captivity by renegade warriors near present-day Freeport, and lived to found a great American family.

Dave Harbison, artist and great, great, great grandson of Massey Harbison will share his collection of scrimshaw and other objects of frontier art at the theatre.

Performances are at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, July 11, 12, 13, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 27 and August 1, 2, and 3.
