Having Our Say is Emily Mann's 1995 Tony Award-nominated drama based on the Delany sisters' 1993 New York Times-bestselling book, co-written with journalist Amy Hill Hearth. The play invites audiences into the home of Bessie and Sadie Delany, both over 100 years old, as they share family stories spanning nearly two centuries of American history, from slavery and Jim Crow to the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s. Gail Lou and Daaimah, both founding members of The Theater Project, play the Delany Sisters. The production marks the debut of The Theater Project's new summer home at DMK Black Box Theatre in Union, NJ, and is presented in observance of America's 250th anniversary.
