“At Coachella Valley Repertory’s . . . performance of Having Our Say, the gentle Delany Sisters stole our hearts. These two ladies charmed the packed house from their first words. Their stories and memories will make you laugh often, and you’ll find yourself misty-eyed at least once or twice.”
– Valerie (VJ) Hume, Coachella Valley Independent
“The play is a touching journey of revelation when it comes to the history of the estimated 45 million African-Americans now living in the United States. Despite a long history of racism that’s been violent at times in America, the Delany sisters were always hopeful and optimistic about the America they love. All their feelings, concerns, and wishes for their native America are warmly, truthfully, and lovingly performed by H. Chris Brown and Regina Randolph.” – Jack Lyons, DesertLocalNews.com
“L.A. actresses H. Chris Brown and Regina Randolph service the script ably, finding a rhythm in yarns that tell the history of African-American women through Jim Crow, the Harlem Renaissance and the 1980s decade they called ‘the worst yet.’ The proud and accomplished ladies contrast and complement each other. They’re like vinegar and molasses, they tell the audience in a home beautifully decorated to look pre-mid-century. . . . Ron Celona directs this with a spirit to inspire viewers.” – Bruce Fessier, The Desert Sun
“There is absolutely everything right about the CVRep’s production of ‘Having Our Say.’ If you are looking for an excellent piece of theatre, this is the show to see. It is a personal and intimate oral history that can be appreciated by all ages. . . . It does not get better than Chris Brown and Regina Randolph if you are looking for top notch performances.” –Dee Jae Cox, Coachella Valley Weekly
