Boise State Extends Auditions For "For Colored Girls..."

Boise State University will hold an extra audition for “for colored girls who have considered suicide/when the rainbow is enuf …” from 6-8 p.m. Feb. 11 in the Student Union Forum. Call 426-1223 to reserve an audition appointment. Free parking is available in the Student Union visitor’s parking lot on the east side of the building. Seven women are needed for the production. Those interested in auditioning should prepare a reading from the script; copies are available at the Student Activities Office in the Student Union, at the Idaho Black History Museum at 508 Julia Davis Drive or at the audition. The play, a tale of the struggles and triumphs of women of color, propelled its author, Ntozake Shange, to national and international success in 1975. It has been performed at many colleges and universities throughout the world and is a favorite production during Women’s History Month. This will be the production’s debut in Idaho. The show is scheduled for March 10-13. More information is available at entertainment.boisestate.edu or by calling 426-1223. -30- Contact Autumn Haynes Student Activities 208 426-3049 Media Contact Kathleen Craven communications and marketing 208 426-3275
