"There's a Meeting Here Tonight!" is the story of the Hutchinson Family Singers, America's most celebrated - and controversial - family singing group during the 1840s through the time of the American Civil War.
In this performance filled with music and songs of the period, the Hutchinsons, who were active in the Temperance movement, Abolition and Women's Suffrage, hold a post-war reunion with family and friends including master showman P.T. Barnum and the great Abolitionist Frederick Douglass, both of whom, along with Barnum's latest find, "The Phenomenon", make a surprise but welcome appearance. Great fun for the whole family!
