CURRENT SEASON 24/25 | circleplayers

Our 75th Anniversary Season

As Nashville's oldest community theater, this season we are thrilled to rejuvenate and renew our connection with the Nashville community, which is the cornerstone of Community Theatre. Through establishing the first majority BIPOC Board of Directors in Circle Players' 75 year history, choosing productions with intention and an emphasis on diversity and inclusion, we are committed to attaining these goals and putting Nashville's community on stage!

For Colored Girls Who
Have Considered Suicide/ When the Rainbow Is Enuf

Written in 1976 by Ntozake Shange as a choreopoem, the piece is a series of 20 separate poems choreographed to music that weaves interconnected stories of love, empowerment, struggle and loss into a complex representation of sisterhood. The cast consists of seven nameless BIPOC women only identified by the colors they are assigned.
