Critical Praise

Broadway knows Rema Webb from productions like Violet and The Color Purple, and now audiences will get to know her as a trailblazer. For five performances, October 15-18, Webb will play the pioneering civil rights activist Fannie Lou Hamer in the Premiere Stages at Kean University production of Cheryl L. West's Fannie Lou Hamer, Speak on It! At the same time Webb will blaze a trail of her own, becoming one of the first actors to perform in a theater piece in the tristate area in seven months. It's a huge responsibility, and one that Webb doesn't take lightly.
