Join us for a reading performance of "Amazing Grace is Yellow", a play by Silver Wainhouse
Amazing Grace is Yellow is a play by Silver Wainhouse in three acts that shine light on the life of Beauford Delaney, an African American and a painter, born in 1901 in Knoxville, Tennessee. The play follows Delaney from the time he left Knoxville in September 1923 to his death in Paris on March 26,1979. Tormented by voices, loved by all who made his acquaintance, and anointed by genius, Beauford's beauty pulls us in and infuses us with love and grace.
