Jill Scott Joins the Cast of ECLIPSED Onstage for Special Dedication

The cast of Broadway’s ECLIPSED was joined onstage after our evening performance on Saturday, May 8 by Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Jill Scott who took part in our series of dedications at ECLIPSED to the abducted and still missing 219 schoolgirls of Chibok, Northern Nigeria, and abducted girls all around the world.
The dedication initiative entitled #KNOWHERNAME gave voice to the names of two girls: Hauwa Bula and Laraba Paul, missing for 754 days (as of Saturday, May 8, 2016) at Saturday's performance.
ECLIPSED dedicates all future performances by speaking the names of the abducted Chibok schoolgirls in Northern Nigeria, and remembering all abducted girls around the world. #BRINGBACKOURGIRLS #KNOWHERNAME
ECLIPSED is the story of five extraordinary women brought together by upheaval in their homeland of Liberia. They forge a close-knit community... one that inspires them to feats of increasingly greater strength. Directed by South African-born LIESL TOMMY (The Good Negro, Appropriate), ECLIPSED is a stirring tale of hope, humor and resilience-and the only new play by a woman on Broadway this season.
ECLIPSED PLAYED ITS FINAL BROADWAY PERFORMANCE ON JUNE 19
