with Amy Hill Hearth

THE PLAY:

Join us for a sit down with Sadie and Bessie, the unparalleled Delany sisters, whose poignant outlook on a transforming American landscape offers a testament to legacy and community. You'll leave the theater having had an intimate encounter with wisdom.

Adapted by multi-award-winning playwright and McCarter Artistic Director Emily Mann from the best-selling book by Sarah and A. Elizabeth Delany with Amy Hill Hearth, Having Our Say received 3 Tony nominations in 1995 and has since been produced internationally to critical acclaim. The play was turned into a television movie starring Diahann Carroll and Ruby Dee, earning a Peabody Award for Excellence in Television and a NAACP Image Award nomination.
