My Lord, What a Night

Choose Your Price Performances

Princeton, 1937. When world-famous contralto Marian Anderson is turned away from a hotel because of her race, Albert Einstein opens his door. What begins as a simple act of humanity grows into a unique friendship between two brilliant minds—and a story the world still needs to hear.

Based on true events, My Lord, What a Night offers an intimate look at the meeting of these two icons and the impassioned debates that ignited Anderson’s legendary performance on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.
