FOR COLORED BOYZ on the verge of a nervous breakdown/ when freedom ain’t enuff is an unabashed display of blackness that's unapologetic and speaks to the human heart from a black man's perspective. I want to use the theatre as a haven for artists and their stories to thrive on the American stage. FOR COLORED BOYZ brings social issues to the stage and addresses issues within the black community that is silenced. FOR COLORED BOYZ’s Afro-centric rhythms is the heart of this piece. As an artist, I am not afraid of bringing the human experience to the stage no matter how graphic or taboo the subject matter might be. The theatre is for the people and should be given back to the people, and this is my mission. FOR COLORED BOYZ resonates with its audiences no matter their ethnicity or demographic, there is a common thread that brings us all together when sitting in the dark watching this show; to go forth with understanding and love.
