In 1975, Shange moved to New York City, where in that year her first and
most well-known play was produced—For Colored Girls Who Have Considered
Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf. First produced Off-Broadway, the play
soon moved on to Broadway at the Booth Theater and won a number of
awards, including the Obie Award, Outer Critics Circle Award, and the
AUDELCO Award. This play, her most famous work, was a 20-part poem that
chronicled the lives of Black women in the United States. The poem was
eventually made into the stage play, was then published in book form in
1977, then made into a movie in 2010 (For Colored Girls, directed by
Tyler Perry). Since then, Shange has written a number of successful
plays, including an adaptation of Bertolt Brecht's Mother Courage and
Her Children (1980), which won an Obie Award.
