Excerpt from Moving Performances, Stellar Script: A Review of North to Freedom Elizabeth Mohn 1Last week, the drama club at Kennedy High School put on an original play titled North to Freedom. This noteworthy production focuses on a young woman's odyssey from slavery to freedom by way of the Underground Railroad. 4This poignant production was one of the best in the drama club's history, and its performance marked an important milestone for the group. North to Freedom is the first production penned by a member of the club. Theodore Ricks—a senior drama club member at Kennedy High—first drafted the script for his creative writing class. The script's dialogue was eloquent, and the playwright’s use of symbolism was intriguing. One symbol that appeared numerous times throughout the work was a white dove; the creature consistently aided Millie in finding the path toward freedom. Although the entire script was admirable, the Southern dialect added some much-needed authenticity to the play. 7By the audience members' intermittent grimaces, giggles, and gasps, I could tell everyone else was as captivated as I was by the show. All the cast members gave commendable performances, and even the most minor of characters made impressive contributions. The star that shone the brightest, however, was Amelia Brew, who played Millie. Brew's consistent demeanor and dauntless attitude allowed the audience to comprehend Millie's determination and willpower. What sort of evidence does Elizabeth Mohn use in this review to support her argument that North to Freedom is a successful and entertaining play? A) Mohn does not use any evidence to support her argument that North to Freedom is a play worth seeing. B) Mohn uses biographical evidence from the director's and actors' lives to show why the play is so successful. C) Mohn uses empirical data analysis, statistics, and charts to determine whether or not the play is successful. D) Mohn uses anecdotal evidence, describing her own reactions to and opinions of various aspects of the performance.
