Production Description

Casting "For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide / When The Rainbow is Enuf," Ntozake Shange's first work and most acclaimed theater piece which captures the brutal, tender and dramatic lives of contemporary Black women, For Colored Girls... offers a transformative, riveting evening of provocative dance, music, and poetry.

An American classic, this stirring “choreopoem” weaves together 20 separate poems with music, movement and narratives to tell the stories of love, empowerment, and struggle and loss in a complex representation of sisterhood. Mature subjects from rape, abandonment, abortion, and domestic violence are tackled.
