For Colored Girls. . .

So I just got back from seeing the play, For Colored Girls, and I am very unsure on how I feel about it. It started off as all the girls acting as children, with not a care in the world besides dancing and having fun. Slowly it went into them growing up and going through some pretty hard situations. One girl talked about being raped. Another speaking about a bad relationship, having kids and a bad man. All stories about struggles some women go through in life, not by choice. The play said no one asks to be raped or by saying hi means she wants anything, these days being friendly can be changed into something totally different. It talked about all girls not just colored and feelings and the way you act and look. The mood was very dark. I felt uncomfortable after the play and while walking out. It talked about real life situations in a dark, sad, hurt way. I'm still unsure if i would go see it again.
