UALR provided our cast and crew with the opportunity to meet *For Colored Girls* playwright Ntzoke Shange on Thursday night. As part of their Black History Month celebrations, UALR invited Shange down for a reading and book signing. Shange read several selections from *For Colored Girls* and her other works. It was exciting for me to see our actors with her because some of our cast members connect so deeply with her work. One of our ladies slipped out with her on a smoke break to sneak a hug and a picture. Several of our ladies hugged her with the deep gratitude that only a source of profound inspiration deserves. It was indeed a special night that reinforced our desire to honor Shange's beautiful words.
