soul & marginalia.

So, one of my most treasured choreopoems—okay, my *only* treasured choreopoem—is being presented at The Kentucky Center this October and I’m excited. Really excited.
And not just because Ntozake Shange’s For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When The Rainbow Is Enuf was pivotal in the composition of my blackwomanself. I’m so excited because I’m in the production! Yay!

I’ll be playing The Lady in Brown at Rush Trowel Entertainment’s Production of FOR COLORED GIRLS. The show runs Oct. 6-9th in The Kentucky Center’s MeX Theater. Directed by Rush Trowel and Jackie Thompson.

Tickets are $16 and on sale now:

Over 50 vibrant, talented, and beautiful sisters auditioned for this production. I am honored to have been selected. Great cast. & I look forward to seeing it all come together.

I hope you’ll come. If you’ve seen the movie and want to know what inspired it, come. Know the play and want to see it live again, come. Ever been banged up by life, and needed a reminder for why you should keep going? Please come. And bring folks with you. Want to see how colorful the human soul can be? We do, too!

I’ll be posting more as the show gets closer. I’m internalizing my lines as I type.

See you after rehearsal! Y’all take care.

Toward beauty, delicacy, magic, Saturday night; toward color, love, and healing,
