Having Our Say: The Delany Sisters' First 100 Years

New Village Arts Theatre
2787 B State Street Carlsbad

103-year-old Sadie Delany and 101-year-old Bessie Delany personally welcome you into their home to share an endearing, true story in Having Our Say: The Delany Sisters' First 100 Years. Like molasses and vinegar, the Delany sisters have always been opposites; but together, these daughters of a former slave grew up in the Jim Crow South, lived in Harlem during its renaissance and had professional careers as a teacher and a dentist, respectively. While making dinner to remember their father's birthday, the two sisters tell us of the last century as they lived it -- through stories of racial injustice and personal strife -- unified by faith, family and time. See the show at the New Village Arts Theatre in Carlsbad.
