Hattie

William Blinn’s Hattie, a play with music, examines the life of Hattie McDaniel, America’s first Black Oscar winner, during that time when she fought for the role of “Mammy” in Gone With The Wind and the subsequent turmoil this event brought into her life. Playwright Blinn has worked as a writer and producer in the TV industry with multiple Emmy, Golden Globe and Writers Guild Awards for such productions as Brian’s Song, Roots, and Fame. This is a world premiere.
