Single Black Female at Duke On 42nd Street

New Professional Theatre present Single Black Female, by Lisa B. Thompson, opening at the Duke On 42nd Street on 12 Jul 2008, following previews from 10 Jul and running through to 29 Jul 2008.

Single Black Female: Takes a comic look at the pleasures and perils of being a single middle class black woman who's got everything she wants and needs except more R-E-S-P-E-C-T -- and a man! The play mines topics such as dating (on the Internet and the old-fashioned way!), gynecology, family gatherings, shopping, racial bias, white folks and, poignantly, the odd sense of loss a black woman feels when she does find a man and leaves her single sisters behind.

Directed by Colman Domingo, Single Black Female features Soara-Joye Ross and Riddick Marie.

The creative team comprises of Tim Mackabee (sets), Raul Aktanov (costumes), Shannon Dougherty (lighting) and DJ Crystal Clear (sound).
