Big Quarterly

Big Quarterly, a hip-hop gospel musical, spotlights the legacy of Peter Spencer – a former slave turned pastor who founded the nation’s first wholly independent Black church and sparked the Big Quarterly–a joyful reunion for freedom in Delaware that exists to this day. For those not yet free, the Big Quarterly was their chance to secure passage on the Underground Railroad. When the first Big Quarterly in 1813 ends in a surprise raid, Peter must face the pains of his tragic past to free the heart and mind of his own brother. Big Quarterly shines a spotlight on the burdens one man must shoulder in the fight for freedom in all its forms.
