and the name of the play is.......

before I tell you, I want to explain a little background (just in case you don't already know). This vision of a show began when the group of us were sitting at Velvet Lounge, faithfully every Sunday, watching The L Word. I was excited to see "lesbians/queer women" on tv even if it was scripted. But show after show, I realized that the idea of it was more satisfying than the actual product. I'm sure many of you have had similar discussions over the show but I appreciate it for what it was. That's when my seed of a dream began which was to create a show that gave a real voice to queer women of color since there was a serious lack of representation out there.

Now fast forward to present day and as I began moving on this I was able to more clearly define what project was to become. Its a program, creating a space for queer women of color to tell their stories of life. We all have a story, multiple stories to tell and what better way than live theater. Theater shows give way to a special type of expression. With this I bounced around ideas with some friends and they helped me come to the title


== Voices in Color ==

Yup! I'm excited! Because we are a colorful people, our lives are colorful with emotions and experiences now we will use our voices to share that with everyone. I hope you feel it like I do. 

Peace and I'll see you at the theater
