the lady in blue: shongay's "for colored girls who have considered suicide when the rainbow..."
this piece was performed for the "Monologue Slam" hosted by Distinguish. This piece spoke to me because it made me take on a vantage point that I will never have to physically endure: an abortion. The learning and rehearsals of this piece made me think deeply about the experience that women go through when they must make this deep and quite frankly jarring decision.
