Featuring beloved local actor and singer Regina Marie Williams, this timely call to action is inspired by the life of famed civil and voting rights activist Fannie Lou Hamer. The dazzling one-woman show uses storytelling and music to inspire hope in the face of adversity, to remind us that we all have a stake in the future of this country, and to get out the vote!

Following the readings, Director Signe V. Harriday will lead a discussion featuring Pillsbury House Theatre Co-Artistic Director Faye Price.
