The Arena Players Stage "Having Our Say" at CCBC

The Guest Artist Committee in association with the Book Bridge Project of CCBC Catonsville is bringing to the stage The Arena Players, the country's oldest continuously operating African-American regional theater, as they present Having Our Say: The Delany Sisters' First 100 Years. History buffs will delight in the true story of Sadie and Bessie, African-American siblings who lived through 100 years of American history and culture beginning in the 1890s.

Founded in 1952, The Arena Players give opportunities to African-American actors, playwrights and technicians and provide compelling, provocative entertainment for theater fans. Performance dates are Friday, Feb. 14 at 2 p.m.; Saturday, Feb. 15 at 8 p.m.; and Sunday, Feb. 16 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $5 for general audiences, $3 for senior adults, children, and students with ID, and $1 for CCBC students and staff. All performances will take place in the Fine & Performing Arts Center Theatre (Q Building).

The Book Bridge Project is an endeavor organized by the faculty of CCBC Catonsville as a college and community project to bring Baltimore County residents and the college-wide community together in a shared learning experience through discussing contemporary issues as characterized in pre-selected books. The Guest Artist Committee is a Student Life-funded club dedicated to providing cultural, educational and social enrichment to the college community.
