ment. Then we go into our stories of struggle. But how we begin is important.

AmNews: Let’s talk about how important and relevant “for colored girls” is now and why people need to see it.

CB: I mean if we look at Judge Ketanji Brown. If we look at Roe v Wade. I mean it’s astonishing how even though these poems were written over 40 years ago, you look at them and you read them and you go, “Oh my gosh wow this feels like they were written yesterday.” Just in terms of Black girl empowerment. I mean, the time is now. What we’ve seen, what we’ve witnessed, what happened with Ketanji Brown, how she persevered and pushed through all the questioning that was going on in order for her to arrive on top of the mountain. Well, for us to see reflections of that on Broadway, to have seven women as an ensemble standing tall next to each other, that’s something everybody needs to see.

Following an earlier announcement that the show must close, the critically acclaimed and reimagined revival of Shange’s groundbreaking “for colored girls who have considered suicide/ when the rainbow is enuf” will now play an additional two weeks through Sunday, June 5, at Broadway’s Booth Theatre (222 West 45th Street). The previously announced final performance was Sunday, May 22. For more info, visit https://forcoloredgirlsbway.com The next stop was Broadway. Shange was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Play. King and Papp won the Tony for Best Producer. Trezana Beverley, the original Lady in Red, whose riveting “Night with Beau Willie Brown” monologue made her the first African American actress to win a Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Play (the award the current production’s Kenita R. Miller has been nominated for), speaking of the hard work and focus that allowed her “to bring an extra layer of depth to the role,” noted that, “It was like we were having a religious experience. The essence of that was in Ntozake’s writing, because I think that when you are writing from that level of truth and passion, it does have that spiritual connection and that’s what was coming over.”

That same spiritual connection is evident in the 2022 production as Camille A. Brown’s direction and choreography creates an alchemy that is the essence of Black Girl magic. CUNY African American Literature Professor Dr. Brenda Greene says it blends poetry, music and dance in a way that transformed the theater into a church the night she saw it. “I saw it with a predominantly Black audience and people were responding to Ntozake bridging a gap as she paid tribute to the African ancestors while expressing not only what was happening in her role as a Black woman in this culture but throughout the African diaspora. She was looking at the similarities and looking at ritual and how all that helped define who she was as a woman.” Greene says the power of the work also lay in the fact that, “Ntozake was part of that group of Black feminist writers, like Sonia Sanchez, Nikki Giovanni, and others, who laid the groundwork for conversations about the importance of Black women having our stories told. “Look at what’s happening now, and the possibility of Roe v. Wade being overturned. It’s just indicative of the society we live in that continues to try to silence women, particularly women who may be more subjected to inequities. ‘For colored girls’ spoke truth to power,” Greene adds, pointing to a key aspect of the work. That is just as true now as it was back then. After all, 1976 was a time when the air crackled with the electricity generated by the Civil Rights and Black Power Movements and the Women’s and LGBTQ movements were going strong. Chants of “Keep Your Laws Off My Body” filled the air. After all, Roe v Wade was only three years old. Ntozake’s choreopoem embodied those conversations on a global scale. Green notes, “You have to look at how you engage people to force them to listen and I think since we’re dealing with so many of the same issues now as we were then, Camille A. Brown’s staging does a really good job of setting that out. I think if people could see it they could relate to it. ‘For colored girls’...is intergenerational because it tells those stories that, as women we only talk to each other about and…telling our stories is a way to heal. I think all women across races and across classes can appreciate that. Cause we’ve all been there.” All the more reason why this play should be a box office smash.

According to Don Sutton, literary trustee of the Shange Revocable Trust and seven-year steward of the production, “The first time around, ‘for colored girls’ opened in September 1976 with a significant advance in ticket sales because folks, especially Black folks, had gotten the buzz from what had happened at the Public Theatre also, the Black press gave it the necessary boost. That success quickly brought in the customary Broadway audience as it played to sold out audiences a week by the end of 1976 with that continuing through 1977 to the end of 1978. The play ran more than two years. It ran 200 performances longer than Lorraine Hansberry’s ‘A Raisin in the Sun’ and at the time that made Ntozake and Lorraine Hansberry the only two Black women to have a Broadway hit.”

Why, in 2022, was there even talk about it closing if ticket sales don’t pick up? Makes no sense especially since the Black community helped make “for colored girls” the box-office leader of the 1976-’77 theatrical season. It was a huge success— owing primarily to Black audiences the first time around. Don’t we have the power to make it a success again? I think so.
