Genre: Comedy Characters: 2f Scenery: Simple Set Single Black Female is a two-woman show with rapid-fire comic vignettes that explore the lives of thirty-something African American middle class women as they search for love, clothes and dignity in a world that fails to recognize them amongst a parade of stereotypical images. SBF 1, an English literature professor, and SBF 2, a corporate lawyer, keep each other balanced as they face their fears of rejection, hopes for romance and reminisce about black girlhood wounds. While embodying a variety of characters, the girlfriends discuss the absurdities of interracial dating, the lure of recreational shopping and the merits of college reunions for bolstering one’s self-esteem. After reviewing their escapades in past relationships and confessing their own mounting anxieties about commitment and the possibility of motherhood, the pair realize their best chance at love may be found closer than they ever imagined. Nominated for a 2004 L.A. Weekly Theater Award for Best Comedy! A socially significant and very entertaining two-woman show that manages to be simultaneously self deprecating and proud. - The New York Times Fresh…hugely entertaining theater.

• Variety Perfectly suited for the post-Sex and the City woman. - Backstage Thompson stands her stereotypes on their heads, to apt and funny effect. These right-on feminist sisters want equal rights and equal pay, but they also yearn for steamy romance and Jimmy Choo shoes, not necessarily in that order. - The Los Angeles Times A bracing, funny, bittersweet…show that is both bigger than life and wondrously small, with plenty of notes in between. - L.A.
