This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.

An inscribed promotional poster for a production of For Colored Girls… presented by the Prince George's Arts Council and directed by Shirley Jo Finney. The poster has a white background with a watercolor-style center graphic of the play’s title “For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf,” above a semi-abstract portrait of a woman’s face. The graphic is mostly red, pink, and brown in color with green highlights. Printed to the right is a logo of the Prince George’s Arts Council, followed by text about the production. The bottom quarter of the poster is a block of red with a logo for Prince George’s Community College, information about presenting sponsors, and a notice of a panelist with the playwright and director.
