    FOLUKE CULTURAL ARTS Presents
    FOR COLOR GIRLS WHO HAVE CONSIDERED SUICIDE WHEN THE RAINBOW IS ENUF by NTOZAKE SHANGE

    Directed by Dale Ricardo Shields

    We welcome you to witness this wonderful display of talent, to laugh, and to cry, to agonize and to rejoice with Foluke Cultural Arts production of For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the rainbow is Enuf by Ntozake Shange.

    Jeannine Gaskin ~ The Lady in Purple

    Maya Jones ~ The Lady in Red

    Sabrina McPherson ~ The Lady in Blue

    Cristal Christian ~ The Lady in Brown

    Siara Willis ~ The Lady in Yellow

    Continuing a four-decade tradition of high art and transcendent theatre, Director Dale Ricardo Shields, while bringing a man’s eye to a womynist genre, reaches across both race and gender to gently explore pain and to pleasantly experience liberation. His direction exposes the audience to itself and levels the ground of the long walk from birth to death. This story of Black women, in this directors hands, salutes the African presence Toni Morrison unearthed as it proclaims, for one and all, the power of honest reflection. Here, Shields, like Shange, takes down the mirror, holds it to the face, and asks, “What do you see?”

    Come and witness this explosive moment of performance as Foluke Cultural Arts Center celebrates the joy of survival and the triumph of the human spirit over adversity.
