for colored girls who considered suicide when the rainbow is enuf
eta Creative Arts Foundation proudly presents for colored girls who have considered suicide / when the rainbow is enuf, the groundbreaking choreopoem by Ntozake Shange, in celebration of the work’s 50th anniversary. Directed by Donn Carl Harper, this milestone production honors one of the most influential works in American theater while reaffirming eta’s enduring commitment to Black artistic excellence.
Black girl magic is reborn at eta in this fearlessly new, fiercely now reinvention of Ntozake Shange’s iconic work. In this celebration of the power of Black womanhood, eight women share their stories and find strength in each other’s humor and passion through a fusion of poetry, dance, music, and song that explodes off the stage and resonates with all.
Written by Ntozake Shange in 1975, the piece transformed how Black women’s stories, pain, joy, sexuality, spirituality, and resilience were represented on stage.
