From The Mississippi Delta

by Dr. Endesha Ida Mae Holland.

  In this autobiographical play, a talented three-woman ensemble portrays all of the key roles. They portray black, white, male, female, old, and young in the life of a Mississippi girl as she is transformed from an impoverished young rape victim to prostitute to Pulitzer prize-nominated author and Ph.D. This play beautifully incorporates juxtaposed themes of joy and pain, destruction and progress, comedy and tragedy that are so characteristic of African-American life.   The transformation of this young woman  will encourage and inspire audiences of all backgrounds.
