HAVING OUR SAY: THE DELANY SISTERS’ FIRST 100 YEARS

  Saturday, August 26 – 7:00 p.m.

Sunday, August 27 – 2:30 p.m.

THIS IS A COLONIAL CENTER SPECIAL EVENT. (Season Tickets do not apply.)

Having Our Say: The Delany Sisters’ First 100 Years is a 1993 memoir of two American civil rights pioneers. Sarah and Elizabeth Delaney were interviewed for The New York Times by Amy Hill Hearth in 1991. The popular story was then expanded into book form. Recognized as one of the Best Books of the Year by the American Library Association, it also received a Christopher Award and American Booksellers Book of the Year Honor Award. In 1995, the story was adapted into a Broadway play, and in 1999, it was made into a CBS television movie.

Sadie and Bess are both more than 100 years old, giving them a unique perspective on American history since they lived through it. Neither sister married, but they had many suitors when they were young. However, the girls were bright, independent, and driven, so no potential relationship ever panned out. Instead, the sisters relied on each other as they grew older, living together and taking care of the house well into their nineties. Bessie says that she plans to live to 120, the same age as Moses. Sadie says that, in that case, she must live to 122 so she can take care of her sister.
Though the sisters recognize that they are lucky to be alert and independent at their ages, they admit that there are drawbacks to growing old. The neighbors are all surprised by how capable the Delaney’s are at their ages; the sisters attribute their longevity to never marrying and not having husbands to worry about.

Seating is General Admission

Tickets – $10 each

  THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK

October 14, 20 & 21 – 7:00 p.m.

October 15 & 22 – 2:30 p.m.

Rescheduled from 2020

The Diary of Anne Frank is one of the most famous and haunting stories to emerge from the 20th Century. The memoirs of this young Jewish girl, forced to hide for nearly two years to escape Nazi persecution, are an essential part of how we remember one of the darkest periods of our human history. We also share her relatable experience of adolescence as a familiarly modern teenager. For nearly two years, Anne, her father, mother, and sister, joined with the Van Daan family to hide in a secret annex space above her father’s former office in Amsterdam, as the Nazis deported Dutch Jews to their deaths. In her secret attic, Anne comes of age: she laughs, plays, fights with her mother, and falls in love for the first time. In spite of her oppressive circumstances and the horrors that surround her, Anne’s spirit transcends, as she voices her belief, “in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.” Anne’s dynamism, her luminous spirit, and her story of resilience continue to resonate deeply, making her story as vital today as when her diary first was published.

Adult Tickets – $15 each

Child Tickets (Ages 12 & Under) – $10 each (Not available online – child tickets must be purchased by calling (434) 262-4170 or by visiting the Box Office.)
