From Slave to Scientist takes us through Carver's early struggles to get an education, his quest for a
career as an artist, and his years as a teacher and inventor. We meet Dr. Carver during a concert tour.

A gifted singer and pianist, he traveled throughout the South giving performances to raise money for
Tuskegee Institute, where he taught and lived until the end of his life.

"From Slave to Scientist" was written, produced, and directed by Robin Lane who considers
George Washington Carver one of her most endearing subjects for dramatic presentation. It is
her hope that this production may, in some small way, help to break down racial barriers ~ and
inspire all who dream of success despite seemingly impossible odds.
