Obsidian Theater Presents For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide/When the Rainbow is Enuf
Once described by New York Daily as, "A triumphant event, filled with humor. Pure theatre" and Time Magazine as "A poignant, gripping, angry and beautiful work,” it is obvious that For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide/When the Rainbow is Enuf, lives up to its raving reviews.
