For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When The Rainbow Is Enuf by Ntozake Shange. The Tony Award nominated and Obie Award-winning play weaves lush movement and graceful verse into a truly stirring portrait of seven amazing black women trapped in their sex, color and consciousness. 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.

"...Both actors play it beautifully. Marans has woven his knowledge about, and passion for, Robert Schumann's song cycle "Dichterliebe" - and for music in general - into the story with unusual grace, informing without ever seeming to lecture, and director Stephanie Vlahos guides the remarkably natural performances with a light hand."

"...A stylish set and strong performances make Sierra Madre Playhouse's production of Twentieth Century (adapted by Ken Ludwig) a fun ride."
