When The Rainbow Is Enough

I ended up attending a real good, free show last night at Roxbury Community College. A friend's daughter was in a 4-week theater camp, The Summer Arts Institute, for young girls and they staged their end-of-the-summer performance to a rousing applause. It featured both monologues, dance interludes, duet acting, and scripted readings. The young ladies were actresses, narrators, dancers, set designers, stage directors, and lighting experts. The show featured selections from Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, Ntozake Shange's For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide, and Harper Lee's To Kill A Mockingbird among other original and student-produced works. Unfortunately, somebody got sick and didn't wuite make it to the restroom before vomiting on the steps. Oh well. We all take an L every now and then.
