Angelic voices, dynamic verses, and graceful dances defined the production of “For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide/When the Rainbow is Enuf,” performed at Winston-Salem State University’s Dillard Auditorium during the National Black Theatre Festival.
The Benton Convention Center’s Salem Ballroom had a packed crowd for “Words and Verses,” an event to showcase the talents of an array of singers, poets, musicians, and performers.
The unofficial start of the 16th biennial celebration of African American theatre, art, and culture, may have been three days earlier when city officials unveiled the Winston-Salem Arts, Culture and Entertainment Memorial Walk of Fame, which included a star for NBTF founder Larry Leon Hamlin.
If you’re strapped for cash and can’t afford to spend $40 or $50 on a ticket to one of the productions during the National Black Theatre Festival, an easy and no-cost way to rub elbows with the stars is to attend the daily press conferences held at The Marriott Hotel.
