[Misty15big]

Hi can anyone tell me if there are any more plays that are written in poetic format? 

[tiffanysnow24]

@Misty15big Hi I don't know of any but this was written to be a "choreopoem". i believe Ntozake Shange originated this term but if you google it you might see something but Im not certain. Thanks for watching it!

[Ladybaltimore2010]

@Misty15big The XX Chromosome Genome Project, a multicultural choreopoem written by S. Ann Johnson.

Amazing performance!

[OfficialGabrielBrown]

Brilliant! #CoSign you owned that piece!

[problemchildentcw]

Awesome!!! You owned that piece "My Sistah".

[aGwEENapple]

I like your acting a lot. How you were engaging with the audience but were still a character.

[m0thland]

That was fucking AMAAAAAAAAAAAZING!!!!!! Although I'd say, slow down just a tiny tiny bit, because I couldn't understand some of what you were saying But then that could be because I'm english and half deaf haha.

REALLY inspiring performance! I love it!!

[loish44]

Tiffany "you got your stuff back!!".... Awesome!!

[tiffanysnow24]

@loish44 Hilarious...I had too!

[loish44]

Tiffany you got your stuff back,,, awesome!!!!

[gocoogs4]

I know this is off topic...but what song is that that was about to play at the very beginning...I can't remember.

[tiffanysnow24]

@gocoogs4 At the beginning of the play or the movie? Or the begining of this clip?

[gocoogs4]

@tiffanysnow24 at the very beginning of this clip. Like the first 3 seconds.

[aGwEENapple]

@gocoogs4 John Legend's "Let's Get Lifted Again". I think it's a prelude or something. =)

[gocoogs4]

@aGwEENapple THANK YOU!!!! I've really been stressed about this.

[aGwEENapple]

@gocoogs4 You're welcomes. =)

[ExtremePersuasion]

@gocoogs4 John Legend Prelude (Get Lifted Album)

[tiffanysnow24]

@ExtremePersuasion Thank you! I was trying to figure it out myself.

[loveflour]

She sped through this so quickly you could barely understand it. Seeing this made me realize how good my Gabby was doing this same thing for her high school. I taped a repeat at a poetry jam and it's posted.

I only wish I got to tape it at the actual play with the scene.

[gocoogs4]

@loveflour I thought this was good....I've seen the play twice and both times were pretty boring...She made it seem like she was really talking to someone as opposed to other people who speak it like a monologue. I think the rapid talking gives it a lot of character.

[tiffanysnow24]

@gocoogs4 Thanks Gocoogs! I was simply "trying to get my stuff back"! Sometimes you gotta talk fast when you are trying to get it back! :)

[tiffanysnow24]

@loveflour Thanks for your comments LoveFlour. Im sorry you didn't like my speed...my mom says the same thing...but nonetheless I thank you very much for taking the time to actually view and comment on this video...as well as Kim's portrayal of Lady in Green. I wish Gabby alll the success in the world! The good thing is there is room for ALL OF us out here in this crazy industry! Just keep lifting her up and she will continue to shine!

[oprahdiva]

Omg that was good wow wow wow

[tiffanysnow24]

@oprahdiva Thank you OprahDiva!!

[DEEMOVIESTAR]

I've watched several other "Lady in Green" clips and this is BY FAR THEE BEST!!!!!!!! WONDERFUL WORK!!!!!!

[tiffanysnow24]

@DEEMOVIESTAR Thank you soooooo very much. YOu have NO idea how that makes me feel!

[rcrivon1]

I Wasun familiar with Ntozake Shange's work, and Tyler Perrys rendition was my first. Now i love Loretta devin, but sister girl she has nothing on u i felt some kind of way as i watched flip through emotions and i think you hit home. thanks for the awakening.

[tiffanysnow24]

@rcrivon1 I had to read this a couple of times. You made my day...week...month...ok you get my point. :)

[CHOCOCAT8444]

nice rendition of lady in green doll you did an awesome job!

[tiffanysnow24]

@CHOCOCAT8444 Thank you very much!

[dramagirl20056]

I am 16 and I want to use you as an example for what i will do for when i do this scene in my drama class. You should have been the one in The Movie.Your a great Actress. Do you know where i can find the monologue?

[tiffanysnow24]

@dramagirl20056 Thanks Drama Girl! This is in the book For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide when the Rainbow is Enuf. There are quite a few long poems/monologues in there! I wish you all the best! Im sure you will do great!

[tonystheclick]

Girl,you shitted for that. So on the money! Go diva!

[tiffanysnow24]

@tonystheclick Hilarious! Thank you very much and feel free to share it!

[jasminebalom]

;)

[tiffanysnow24]

@jasminebalom Thank you for watching Jasmine! I appreciate the kind words!

[tiffanysnow24]

[cuddlyduddly77]

[tiffanysnow24]

@cuddlyduddly77 Thank you CuddlyDuddly! I love the name!

[Howard703Roark]

Do your thing Tiff. Keep your Stuff! I hope I get a chance to catch the show.

[tiffanysnow24]

@Howard703Roark Im not doing it right now. I am working on another show but I would love to do this again...this is a lot of fun to perform!

[aprilscott]

Breathtaking! I've never seen the play- only seen people do monologues from it from time to time- you were great! I could not turn away from the screen. You're going places, girl!

[tiffanysnow24]

@aprilscott Thank you very much April!

[krigga7]

Tiffany you are extremely powerful and you connected with the audience in ways not many people can! I am amazed! I felt this....

[tiffanysnow24]

@krigga7 I really, really appreciate it! The goal is to always tell the story and the fact that you felt connected to it is a real honor. Thanks again!

[VAmmons]

@tiffanysnow24 I felt it from the top of my head to the soles of my feet. I know it's your stuff!!! GOD bless you sister.

[tiffanysnow24]

@VAmmons Just trying to get it back...is all... :)

[MariAnnaWays]

Can somebody remix this and play Beyonce's song "Ring The Alarm" in the background. LOL It would fit so lovely.

[tiffanysnow24]

@MariAnnaWays Now that would be funny. :)

[8spade]

Bravo my fellow Tiffany!!! Keep it up mama

[tiffanysnow24]

@8spade Thank YOu!

[cookiemonster33088]

AWESOME JOB! i love it

[tiffanysnow24]

@cookiemonster33088 Thank you Cookiemonster!

[ebonylockett]

This is awesome!!!

[tiffanysnow24]

@ebonylockett Thank you very much!

[deshantellrenay]

You have just made me even more excited to see the upcoming movie! I would've never seen this clip had I not been trying to find the trailer for the movie...and it was performed here in L.A. not too far from where I live and I missed it, ARGH!!! Y'all gotta bring it back...Encore? One night only? Let me know and I'll help you get the word out.

[tiffanysnow24]

@deshantellrenay Yes, I did the play in LA twice. Last year in Burbank and this year in Sherman Oaks. If it comes back I will make sure to come back to this post to tell you! Im very grateful to the upcoming movie...its allowing my little clip to be shared with more people in antcipation of the opening. Thanks again!!

[CCAKIN36]

That was awesome. Love the sass & the pizzazz you put into it

[tiffanysnow24]

@CCAKIN36 Sass? Her? Nah... :) Just kidding...thank you!

[tdh0823]

Go Girl, you def made me wanna see the movie....

[brth77]

I understand what she was saying...she is the only person I've seen on YouTube that got the flow of this monologue. It has to have a flow because it is a poem--it's harder than a traditional monologue. The pauses and stops that you would put in a monologue doesn't exactly apply here. People, stop being lazy and just listen more closely. It makes sense and I love the way you performed it!

[tiffanysnow24]

@brth77 Wow! Thank you so very much! My mom has always told me I talked to fast...Im gonna tell her what you said. :)

[MissJaynet]

i thought this was great and i dont see nething wrong with her speakin. the way she spoke jus made the character look more real and believable.

[tiffanysnow24]

@MissJaynet Thanks Ms Jaynet!

[xxMrRobotboy292xx]

What an attitude ! I love it ! IT IS BEAUTIFUL

[tiffanysnow24]

@xxMrRobotboy292xx Thank you very much! Sometimes you got to give a little attitude. :)

[akeke19]

Inspiring. I do think you rush the monologue but I can see it's only because you're passionate.

[tiffanysnow24]

@akeke19 Thanks for your comment Akeke! Very passionate...that fool almost walked off with all of my stuff. :)

[p3clothing]

I flew in from Portland to see your performance and I must say..'That girl got talent!' I appreciate how you've turned the performance into your own..extremely genuine. And you owned the stage. When this sista came out on stage no matter if she was speaking or not.. she owned it! Great job Tiffany and we look forward to seeing you on the silver screen soon!

[tiffanysnow24]

@p3clothing Awww....thanks for the support and the KIND words P3Clothing! Being on the silver screen would be nice. :)

[iknowdasright]

Yeah... i see their point now. The fast talkin thing def makes us lose half of what you're saying. sounds like you're speakin in tongues or Spanish. Somebody just walked of wit ALLA... MY... STUFF!!!... (make sure we hear the theme) Your ending is perfect. You are where our eyes go, so don't rush us. Let us savor you.

[tiffanysnow24]

@iknowdasright Ive been told that it sounds like Im talking in tonuges or speaking spanish when Im sleeping so you may have a valid point. Thanks for taking the time and im sorry my words were lost..along with all of my stuff. Thanks again for taking the time to watch!

[jojozzy]

That was phonominal , wish I was there to watch it all

[tiffanysnow24]

@jojozzy Thank you very much!
