How long before WBAF responds with "Who?"

Good for her, but this makes me wonder, where the heck is Ntozake Shange AND Trazana Beverley?

Any guesses on a theater?

It's too far in advance to start narrowing it down to a specific theatre.

Love India.Arie.
Had no idea she was an actress.

Wonder what role she was cast in.
This is a piece of theater that everybody needs to see. I've yet to see a good live production of it, so I'm hoping that this revival is it.

I may have to see this. Love the play and read the book twice way back. I have never seen it live. Only on tv.

Google the title to find out what it is about.

Already did uncageg, I just didn't post an edit. This looks really awesome and innovative!

I could imagine this going into the Lyceum when Macbeth closes.

I'm really excited about this - it's amazing play and a tremendous opportunity for some great actresses to play together and bring some powerful stories to life.
