One Weekend Only — Having Our Say: The Delany Sisters' First 100 Years
The 40+ Stage Company is excited to present Having Our Say: The Delany Sisters' First 100 Years by Emily Mann.
Step inside the remarkable life story of Sadie and Bessie Delany — two centenarian sisters with Raleigh roots who lived through Reconstruction, Jim Crow, the women’s and civil rights movements, and the Harlem Renaissance. Having Our Say invites you into their home and into a vivid, often humorous, first-person account of American history told by women who made it.
Having Our Say runs one weekend only from October 31 at 7:30 and November 1 and 2 at 2:00 pm in the Gallery Theatre of the Intergenerational Center for Arts and Wellness, 114 W. 30th Street, WS/NC 27105. Tickets are available for purchase online or by calling (336) 722-2585.
40+ Stage Company: A Company for All Ages, Relevant, Challenging, and Intergenerational
40+ Stage Company believes in the transformative power of theater. Our play selection focuses on issues of intergenerational concern and relevance to our community today. We want to provide actors of all ages with opportunities to perform in meaningful, challenging roles. As an amateur company, we are committed to the highest standards of performance.
Our outreach program extends to organizations provide services and moral support to the aging. Acting, as a performance art form, requires engaging with others and practicing and honing listening skills, memory reliability, and introspection. A creative lifestyle in the afternoon years has a demonstrative positive effect in overcoming depression, isolation, addiction, and a host of conditions often associated with growing older.
