For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When The Rainbow Is Enuf

The Lyric Theatre
( 02/08/2012 - 03/18/2012 )
Running Time: 90 minutes

There was a time when African American men and women were pushed down, held back, repressed, depressed and hoodwinked. There was a time when African Americans were forced to believe “No, you won’t. No, I can’t. There was a time… For Colored Girls Who Considered Suicide When The Rainbow Is Enuf” is an Obie Award-winning play by renowned novelist, poet and playwright Ntozake Shange. It was the inspiration for Tyler Perry’s recent film “For Colored Girls.” This play weaves lush movement and graceful verse into a truly stirring portrait of seven amazing black women trapped in their sex, color and consciousness. Each woman’s journey is unique yet each seamlessly blends with the stories of the other six women to form one, united voice of pride and power.
