CALENDAR Having Our Say: The Delany Sisters’ First 100 Years will receive a staged reading 2 pm June 25, at the Lane Commu- nity College Downtown Center. The play, by Emily Mann, was also presented in February. This weekend’s reading will once more feature Arbella Luvert and Charmaine Coleman in the roles of the real-life Delaney sisters, who lived in New York through much of the 20th century. Sadie Delany was the first African-American domestic science teacher in the city’s public school system, and Bessie Delaney was the second African-American woman dentist in New York state. Mann’s play was based on an oral history of the two sisters by Amy Hill Hearth; it ran on Broadway in 1995 and later toured the country. “Having Our Say is a play that brings front and center a history of African-Americans through the eyes of two brave and extraordinary women,” says director Stan Coleman. He is a co-founder of Minority Voices Theatre, which is producing the play in partnership with the Multi-Cultural Center and Special Events at LCC, which will receive half the proceeds. Having Our Say: The Delany Sisters’ First 100 Years is 2 pm Sunday, June 25, at the Lane Community College Downtown Center, 101 W. Tenth Avenue. Admission is $5 to $50, sliding scale. — Bob Keefer foodforlanecounty.org/gardens. FREE. South Valley Farmers Market con- tinues. See Thursday, June 22. GATHERINGS Downtown Toastmasters continues.
