The Lyric Theatre presents Ntozake Shange's Obie-winning play For Colored Girls Who Considered Suicide When The Rainbow Is Enuf. This experimental drama from 1975 is a landmark in African-American and feminist literature. It has been performed both on and off-Broadway as well as being adapted into a book, TV movie and film. The play consists of a series of 20 poems that express the struggles of African-American women. Each of the seven characters wears a color of the rainbow as they recount their experiences with love, abandonment, rape, and abortion, as well as other life experiences. After they each tell their story, all of the women come together and find strength in each other. Learn More

This show had great heart and content. It just wasn't produced very well. Needs stronger direction, editiing, and fluuidity. Perhaps more rehearsal.
