Temple Theaters: From Okra To Greens

    School of Theater, Film and Media Arts

    Temple Theaters Presents:

    From Okra to Greens

    By Ntozake Shange

    Directed by Ontaria Wilson

    Stage Manager: Scarlet Garcia

    Like Ntozake Shange’s world renowned choreopoem “For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When The Rainbow Is Enuf”, “From Okra To Greens” serves a melodious bowl of soulfully cooked poetry, music, and dance blending in both choreopoem and musical theatre seasoning. It is a reminder of the importance of teaching the history of a people; honoring the indigenous people of the lands in which we plant our feet; and allowing love, in its purest form, to flourish. This is a different type of love story.
