For Colored Girls… to Become Feature Film
A revival of the play, which is a series of 20 poems, touching on stories of love, abandonment, domestic abuse and other issues faced by black women, was originally scheduled to open on Broadway this season, but financing fell through.
The play was previously made into a 1982 television movie with Shange, Laurie Carlos, Trazana Beverly, Alfre Woodard, and Lynn Whitfield.
