For colored girls who have considered suicide / when the rainbow is enuf by Ntozake Shange
Ntozake Shange’s highly influential 1976 choreopoem for colored girls… might well be the most performed and important piece of theater created expressly by and for Black women in the history of the United States. The work has been adapted for both film and television and can boast a Tony-nominated Broadway revival as recently as 2022. Join the circle as seven women share their stories and find strength in each other’s truth, passion, and humor. This fusion of poetry, dance, music, and song explodes off the stage and touches the hearts and minds of all those who experience it. It’s time for joy. It’s time for sisterhood. It’s time for colored girls.
Directed by Monica Prince, director of RiverStage's 2024 production of August Wilson's Fences, and perfomed by women of color from all over Central Pennsylvania, this is a performance you don't want to miss!

Monica's Performance Skills
Coaching
Write About Now Stage
Performance Artist
Monica's favorite part of performance when she isn't doing it herself is coaching other writers to get on stage and share their art. Whether in classrooms or at Creative Writing Camp, Monica can coach the stage fright out of anyone (well, almost anyone).

Monica always performs in high heels. She adopted this rule of performance when she was eighteen, and hasn't looked back. She is available for readings, choreopoem tastings, and open mic hosting.

Write About Now Stage
Since discovering Write About Now, one of Houston's many slam poetry communities, you can find Monica on this stage at least once a year, primarily during the summer while she teaches in the Creative Writing Camp. This stage is full of welcoming and loving people, and anyone looks good under the lights at Avant Garden.
