Film & Discussion: For Colored Girls

Donaghey Student Center Ledbetter Rooms A,B, & C
Tuesday, February 15, 2011
6:00 pm

A Tyler Perry movie production which is based on Ntozake Shange’s play “For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf.” Unlike the original play which featured only 7 women known by colors performing the collection of 20 poems, the movie has given each of the 20 characters names. Each of the poems deal with intense issues that particularly impact women in a thought-provoking commentary on what it means to be a female of color in the world. UALR faculty members, Dr. Tim Edwards and Ben Fry will host a viewing and talk back of the film, Glory. Refreshments will be served.
