Dallas Theatre / Dance Events Calendar

DTC Brierley Resident Acting Company member, Liz Mikel, returns to Dallas after a year performing on Broadway to play the legendary 1960s civil rights activist, Fannie Lou Hamer in this regional premiere. Fannie The Music and Life of Fannie Lou Hamer celebrates the woman whose courage, humor and grit reminds us that theres courage in the face of fire, hope in tomorrow and that we all have a stake in our country. From her humble origins as the daughter of a Mississippi sharecropper, to cofounding the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party and demanding recognition at the National Democratic Convention, hers is a story of justice that will not be denied. Part theater, part revival, and all power, this one woman show with music will have your head nodding and hands clapping from start to finish. Fannie will be produced by Bishop Arts Theatre Center and presented in association with Dallas Theater Center.
