For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When The Rainbow Is Enuf
Opens March 6, 2009, in Santa Monica, California!
Shadow Mihai directs Ntozake Shange's Obie and Toni-Award-winning play For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When The Rainbow Is Enuf. First performed in 1975, For Colored Girls brings a unique Black female perspective to the stage - and is a profound expression of the human experience that that transcends race , gender and age. It is at once revolutionary and celebratory, and speaks to us as much today as it did when first produced. For Colored Girls was scheduled to open on Broadway in August 2008, but was cancelled after preview performances when financial producers backed out. Neither Star producer Whoopie Goldberg or star singer India Arie, both attached to the production, are giving any explanations for the cancellation, if the backers have even told them.
Shadow Mihai has now mounted the West Coast Production of For Colored Girls, with a powerful and talented cast, original music and choreography, and a sensibility to the origins of the play, which was developed in the spoken-word scene of San Francisco in the early 1970's. It is an experience play not to be missed.
For Colored Girls opens early February, 2009 at one of several
locations. For details, including play dates, locations, ticket prices,
cast information and more, go to the official For Colored Girls website.
