Daring to Think, Move and Speak

"Trena Field's performance touched us so deeply, as she moved her way from intriguing character to intriguing character. We learned about history, strength and sacrifice. Simply put, the performance was honest, heartfelt, intimate and masterful." - D. Washington Artistic Director, Rogues Gallery Arts

From the perspective of African American women, engaging looks at pieces of the American Civil Rights Movement. Sometimes shocking, sometimes amusing, these stories will not be forgotten. Brought to life as only a piece of live theatre can.
Daring to Think, Move and Speak is a moving series of monologues and spirituals detailing the life and legacies of five African- American women of the Civil Rights Movement: Ida B. Wells-Barnett, Fannie Lou Hamer, Francis Ellen Watkins Harper, Rosa Parks and Diane Nash. These women dared to defy the social and economic injustices of their time. The imaginative and talented Trena Bolden Fields intimately explores the lives of these women activists and their contribution to the movement.
