TOURING THEATRE ENSEMBLE OF NORTH CAROLINA
A Narrative with music from the civil rights movement
Culled from actual quotes by the people involved, this drama presents Fannie Lou Hamer, an unflinching women of great courage who energetically and single mindedly pursued her right to vote and become what she considered to be a first class citizen. Performed by four actors who portray the wide variety of characters Hamer encounters on her journey toward equality, the production offers a compelling, informative and entertaining program for audiences of both young people and adults and provides them with the opportunity to become acquainted with one of the “unsung” heroines of the civil rights movement.
