From the Mississippi Delta

Friday January 29, 2010 - Sunday February 28, 2010
Rated: NR

Jubilee Theatre presents the powerful and moving drama by Dr. Endesha Ida Mae Holland, From the Mississippi Delta, based on her memoir of the same name. Phyllis Cicero directs.

This powerful story chronicles Dr. Holland’s journey from poverty and prostitution in the Jim Crow South to civil rights activism, a Ph.D. and an academic career. Her saga 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.
