Join the Department of Speech & Theatre for our production of FOR COLORED GIRLS WHO HAVE CONSIDERED SUICIDE WHEN THE RAINBOW IS ENUF!
This groundbreaking “choreopoem” is a spellbinding collection of vivid prose and free verse narratives about and performed by Black women. It captures their brutal, tender and dramatic lives with music, dance, and poetry.
Praised by The New Yorker for “encompassing…every feeling and experience a woman has ever had,” for colored girls who have considered suicide/when the rainbow is enuf by Ntozake Shange is a classic, award-winning play shining a light on the wide-ranging experiences of Black women.
“A poignant, gripping, angry and beautiful work” - Time
“Their voices meld, their bodies tumble and tangle together. And sisterhood becomes a single hydra-headed, multitongued entity, invincible and indivisible. God help the man who dares to cross it.” – The New York Times
“A triumphant event, filled with humor. Pure theatre.” – New York Daily News
