Muhlenberg College

Krystal Hall, of Catasauqua, and Deja Frazier, of Northampton, are two of 10 Muhlenberg College students who performed in Ntozake Shange’s “for colored girls who have considered suicide/when the rainbow is enuf.”

A spiritual and deeply personal celebration of black womanhood, directed by Sharrell D. Luckett, “for colored girls,” played in the Baker Theatre April 26-28.

It was only the second Broadway production ever written by a black woman and originally opened in 1976. The show stars 10 women who share poetic narratives of black girlhood and womanhood, and, in the process, share something of themselves as well. Performed entirely by women, “for colored girls” offers a narrative of self-discovery, coming-of-age stories, self-love and a familial bond between black women who share both joyous and painful experiences.

Muhlenberg College offers bachelor of arts degrees in theater and dance. The Princeton Review ranked Muhlenberg’s theater program in the top twelve in the nation for eight years in a row, and Fiske Guide to Colleges lists both the theater and dance programs among the top small college programs in the United States. Muhlenberg is one of only eight colleges to be listed in Fiske for both theater and dance.
