For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide/When the Rainbow is Enuf at Hibernian Hall

Poet-playwright Ntozake Shange's For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide/When the Rainbow is Enuf is a cornerstone of contemporary American theater. In it, seven women of color share their stories and find strength in each other through "a layin' on of hands." This innovative theater piece is composed of 21 poems, linked by music and dance. The women dance out and declare their everyday joys, hurts and loves. Praxis Stage takes on this Obie-winning, Tony-nominated play at Hibernian Hall in Roxbury.
