What is Dark Divas about?
Lena Horne, Billie Holiday — [they] were part of my youth. I had a brainstorm once at four o’clock in the morning. I wanted to write a play about the women that forged my place in this world at this time. I started from a chronological order from Josephine Baker, Billie Holiday, Lena Horne, Pearl Bailey, Dinah Washington, Sarah Vaughn, Ella Fitzgerald.
