Jubilee Theatre Plays Mississippi Delta

Jubilee Theatre, Fort Worth will play "From the Mississippi Delta" by Endesha Ida Mae Holland, director TBD.

Performances will take place from February 5 to 28, 2010, on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday Evenings at 8 p.m. and on Saturday and Sunday Matinees at 3 p.m.

The journey begins in Greenwood, Mississippi—the Delta. Born in a rundown, drafty shotgun house to a poor but resourceful black woman, no one could have predicted the odyssey that would become Ida Mae Holland’s life. Curious, smart and precocious, young Ida learned from her mother how to dream big dreams, for herself and others, in their impoverished Delta community.

From the Mississippi Delta has earned critical acclaim and has been nationally and internationally celebrated as an inspiring dramatic portrayal of the human experience, as viewed through the eyes of an African-American woman. -- www.jubileetheatre.org
