About ColorBlind
ColorBlind, an inspirational stage play that will fill your soul with lots of laughter as it takes you on a journey into the lives of two different families worlds.  

 

ColorBlind reflects on the life of an interracial couple who decides to get serious about their relationship.The parents are confused, but for the love of their children they give their all to be supportive. In the midst, they realize that all they really need to do is conquer their own fears and embrace the unknown.

 

The thought of marriage brings much anguish to the couples' fathers.  Past experiences begin to resurface and taunt their minds. Through the trials and tribulations, the voices of their children are finally heard and the parents realize that love is "COLORBLIND".
