About the Show: Fresh off his controversial production of Dreamgirls (with puppets!), enfant terrible director Ty Derricks is offering the leadership of New Stages Repertory Company a bold new opportunity: the chance to premiere his risky, iconoclastic take on a production of Ntozake Shange’s For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide/When The Rainbow Is Enuf. Reducing the cast size and employing only white women as actors, Ty creates a secretive, explosive production experience that drags the actors, the artistic leadership, and the local theatrical community towards a collision while his former confidante, Sheryl, fights to save not only the brilliance of the original play, but also what its landmark representations have meant to generations of Black women. for…girls is an acidic comedy that exposes the misogynoir, power struggles, and exploitation that make contemporary artmaking so fraught.
