Let us celebrate the life of a woman. A true story of Zora Neale Hurston who was born at the turn of the last century, and grew to be an important voice with her written portrayals of Black American life in the rural south of the 1930’s and 1940’s, and the stories, songs and folklore that were her heritage and inspiration.

Eight time EMMY Nominee and Member of the NAACP Image Award Hall of Fame, Ruby Dee adapted this production from the stage play, and two of Ms. Hurston’s books.

Ms. Dee also stars and is joined by the distinguished Academy Award, Golden Globe and EMMY Award-wining actor, Louis Gossett, Jr.
