| “All of the arts, poetry, music, ritual, the visible arts, the theater, must singly and together create the most comprehensive art of all, a humanized society, and its masterpiece, free man” - Bernard Berenson (American art critic, 1865-1959) |

First performed in Berkeley, California in
1974, Ntozake Shange’s staged poem
For Colored Girls Who Have Considered
Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf
played at the Joseph Papp Public
Theatre before opening on Broadway in
1976. The collection of poems
performed by women of color--each
identified by the hue of her clothes--
creates a unified statement about being
a woman of color, being alive, and being
an American. The work’s tales of love,
violence, abortion, rape, and healing are
as searing and relevant today as they
were thirty years ago.
