| Hattie, by William Blinn, was premiered at the Studio Theatre on June 4, 2004 and was a finalist of the Playhouse New Works Festival the prior season. A play with music, Hattie examines the life of Hattie McDaniel, America’s first Black Oscar winner, during that when she fought the role of “Mammy” in “Gone With the Wind” and the subsequent turmoil this event brought into her life. Playwright, William Blinn has worked the better part of the past three decades as a writer and producer in the television industry. He is the recipient of multiple Emmy, Golden Globe and Writers Guild Awards for such presentations as Brian’s Song, Roots, and Fame, among others. Most recently Mr. Blinn produced the firm version of Starsky & Hutch. |
