FOR COLORED BOYZ is a series of poems and monologues accompanied by dance and music also known as a choreopoem, a form originated by Ntozake Shange who coined the term choreopoem. Written, directed and choreographed by Bryan-Keyth Wilson, "FOR COLORED BOYZ..." tells the stories of 4 men who have suffered oppression in a racist and marginalized society. This show is inspired by the award-winning choreopoem for colored girls who have considered suicide when the rainbows enuff written by Ntozake Shange. In this choreopoem 4 men of color navigate through the past, present and what seems to be the future in a world where disenfranchisement, racism, hyper-masculinity and stereotypes are prevalent."Wilson's work boldly carves its own space within the theatrical canon just as its female-focused predecessor,"said Alric Davis, Broadway World.
