Winner of a 1974 Obie award and nominated for two 1977 Tony Awards, including Best Play, For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When The Rainbow Is Enuf is a “choreopoem” that mixes powerful prose and free verse narrative to tell the endearing, dramatic stories of the modern African American woman. Told by seven women who are represented by a color, i.e. the Lady in Red, Shange’s powerful poems have created an iconic feminist work that discusses love, abandonment, rape, and abortion and how women empower themselves to discover their own strength and love. With a musical underscore, For Colored Girls… transcends the ordinary theater experience to create an emotional exploration of the limitations and beauty of life and love.
Directed by Danette Scott Perry.
