For Colored Girls (Who Have Considered Suicide/When the Rainbow is Enuf)

Capturing the brutal, tender and dramatic lives of contemporary Black women, for colored girls... offers a transformative, riveting evening of provocative dance, music and poetry. Nominated for two Tony Awards in its original run in 1977 and a whopping 7 Tony Awards in its revival production in 2022, this groundbreaking "choreopoem" is a spellbinding collection of vivid prose and free verse narratives about and performed by 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

Running time is approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes with one 15-minute intermission.

We need three (3) volunteers per night to cover the positions of box office, usher, and concessions. As a volunteer, you also get to see that performance for free*! 

• Box office volunteers will sit at the box office table and help sell tickets, check people in, and provide information to patron before the show.
• Concession volunteers will be stationed in the concession stand to sell drinks and snacks to patrons before the show and during intermission. They will also help collect trash and straighten up the theatre after the performance.
