The Black Arts & Cultural Center’s (BACC) theater troupe "Ali Players" presents, "For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf". Structurally, the play is a series of poems, collectively called a "choreopoem”, written by Ntozake Shange. Shange’s poetry expresses the many struggles and obstacles that African-American women face throughout their lives. It is performed by a cast of seven women characters, each of whom is known only by a color: "Lady in Yellow," "Lady in Purple," etc. The poems deal with love, abandonment, the power of womanhood and a host of issues that women deal with in general. Tickets are $15 each or $12 for BACC members/seniors/students. Call 269-349-1035 for group rates or more information. The play contains adult language and themes.
