Pegasus Players hit home with `For Colored Girls’

“For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide/When the Rainbow Is Enuf” is a beautiful and touching experience. It’s a play about being a black woman in today’s society, and it is done well by the Pegasus Players. The play, which opened to good reviews last April at the Edgewater Presbyterian Church, is currently running at CrossCurrents. The intimate atmosphere of the club suits the production. When the actresses speak, they are not reciting words to an estranged audience. They’re so close, and they look and talk directly at you. You feel as if you’re sitting in on an open confession. Some members of the audience even venture to talk back to the actresses. This doesn’t faze them one bit.
