“Having Our Say” Auditions

Having Our Say: The Delany Sisters’ First 100 Years opens as 103-year-old Sadie Delany and 101-year-old Bessie Delany welcome us into their Mount Vernon, New York home. As they prepare a celebratory dinner in remembrance of their father’s birthday, they take us on a remarkable journey through the last hundred years of our nation’s history, recounting a fascinating series of events and anecdotes drawn from their rich family history and careers as pioneering African-American professionals.

Their story shines a light on American history, told through the eyes of two trailblazing women as they look not only to the past, but also ahead to the twenty-first century.
