Human Rights Lawyer Emmanuel Ogebe Joins the Cast of ECLIPSED Onstage for Special Dedication

Following the performance on June 7th, the cast of Broadway's ECLIPSED was joined onstage by human rights lawyer Emmanuel Ogebe, 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.
Emmanuel Ogebe was also joined onstage by Mary Abba, mother of one of the missing girls of Chibok and appearing for the first time anywhere in the world outside of Nigeria.
The dedication initiative entitled #KNOWHERNAME gave voice to the name of two girls: Abigail Kugama and Hauwa Wahi, who have been missing for 785 days at Tuesday'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.
