Each woman’s journey is unique, yet each seamlessly blends with the stories of the other six women to form one, united voice of pride and power. The play, which premiered on Broadway in 1976, was the inspiration for Tyler Perry’s recent film For Colored Girls. Directed by Lyric Artistic Director JC Gafford, For Colored Girls ... will run through March 4.
