schen Cole of Rochester, New York; and
For Colored Girls
"I read the book," says Jody 01-
brych, co-founder and executive producer
of Houston's Equinox Theatre, "and I
thought 4If there's any way, this is what we
have to produce during the National Women's Conference.' "
The property was For Colored Girls
Who Have Considered Suicide/When the
Rainbow is Enuf, the celebrated Broadway
play written by Ntozake Shange.
Olbrych took a chance and called the
playwright's agent directly.
"I just explained how very much I
liked the book and that I wondered about
breaking precedence and doing a concurrent production here, using a local cast.
The agent said she'd approach the playwright, since Ntozake is so interested in the
women's movement. Astoundingly, Ntozake—who still retains rights to the play-
said yes!"
The cast includes the most talented
black actresses from this area: Laura
Booker, Jan Crain, Dawnnette Johnson,
Karen Kellum, Barbara Marshall, Leslie
Mays and Brenda Sers.
The play, called a choreopoem, is
a poetry-dance performance starring seven
women on a barren stage. Each character
has a tale to tell about abortion or rape,
trickery or despair. The play originally
played in bars in New York and San Francisco, and has run successfully on the New
York stage for several months.
Sponsored by Equinox, the Houston
production will run for two performances
only-Saturday, Nov. 19 at 8:30 p.m. and
Sunday, Nov. 20 at 3 p.m., in the Music
Hall. Tickets are available through Equinox
or the Music Hall Box Office.
