The production of “Having Our Say, The Delany Sisters’ First 100 Years”, by Emily Mann, is a true story about the struggles and achievements of two African-American women.

The play opens as 103-year-old Sadie and 101-year-old Bessie welcome us into their home in Mount Vernon, N.Y. They then take the audience on a journey through the last 100 years of our nation's history, recounting a series of events and anecdotes drawn from their rich family history and careers as pioneering African-American professionals.

The Delany sisters will be portrayed by actresses Donna D. James and Leslie Smithey, under the direction of Melinda O’Brien.

The performance is free and 90 minutes long with no intermission. Registration is required online or call 203-797-4527. The library is located at 170 Main St., Danbury.
