Another kind of play

I saw a fascinating play at First Presbyterian Theater this evening. It was not a typical FPT play but it was fascinating. The play "For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf" was presented as a fund raiser Genesis, a local organization which provides homes and support for women getting off of drugs. The play itself was a wild emotional ride exploring the lives of a group of black women. I think what I appreciated most about this play were the quick mood swings from hilarious scenes to somber one to grotesquely tragic and back again.  It was presented with no intermission and tha 95 minute play certainly held my attention.  Kudos to the eight ladies who carried this off. There are two more performances tomorrow, 2:00pm and 6:00pm (this one with dinner).
