For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide/When The Rainbow Is Enuf

Since its celebrated 1976 Broadway premiere, this form-defying fusion of poetry, song, and movement has given voice to the interior lives of Black women with a force and beauty unmatched in our national theater.

Seven women. Seven colors of the rainbow. An entire world of feeling, longing, fury, tenderness, and transcendence rendered through Shange's incandescent verse.

Co- directors Daryl L. Stewart and Justin Dominic bring this singular work to the Newark Museum of Art for one night only, in a collaborative multi disciplinary production that honors its revolutionary origins while speaking urgently to the present.

Presented by Daryl Stewart Productions this production reminds us what theater, at its most essential, is for.

Made possible through the generous support of the City of Newark Creative Catalyst Fund.

Presented with special thanks to Concord Theatricals and the Ntozake Shange Family Trust.

Cast and Creative Team to be announced.
