You’ll be clapping, crying, and singing along with a show that is part theatre, part gospel revival, and all inspiration.
Fannie: The Music and Life of Fannie Lou Hamer tells the impassioned story of American civil rights hero, Fannie Lou Hamer, whose bravery, humor, and grit, exemplify courage in the face of fire, hope in tomorrow, and the belief that we all have a stake in bettering our country. From her humble origins as the daughter of a Mississippi sharecropper, to co-founding the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party and demanding recognition at the National Democratic Convention, hers is a story of justice that will not be denied.
Let’s Talk!
Our Conversation Series takes you deeper into the stories we tell and the productions we craft. Exploring artistic vision, creative process, historical context, story meaning and more, we invite you to join us for powerful conversations around the big, bold, memorable stories seen on our stages.
