Directed by Broadway star and television actress, Jasmine Guy, Ntozake Shange's legendary choreopoem about the African-American female journey through America is portrayed through the poetry, dancing and narrative of a slate of women who become the colorful ladies of the rainbow. Both a joyous celebration of a unique culture and a wrenchingly real portrait of the struggle of an oppressed minority, for colored girls tells the timeless story through 20 beautiful vignettes that inspire laughter and tears for the passion and pain of the black woman's experience.

"A celebration of the joy and terror of the human condition, "for colored girls" is ultimately a rainbow-colored testimonial to the triumph of hope and healing. Jasmine Guy does it proud." - AJC
