Excerpt from The Olympian
‘Single’ and satisfied?
Considering recent headlines, you couldn’t be blamed for wondering whether women aren’t — at least sometimes — better off without men. Yet successful single women still face pressure to head for the altar. South Puget Sound Community College Theatre Collective’s “Single Black Female,” opening Friday, Feb. 20, explores that sad situation while poking fun at stereotypes. Raessa Patterson of Lacey makes her directorial debut with Lisa B. Thompson’s bold comedy about a pair of smart and accomplished friends (ShaVanety Jones and Teresita Brimms) finding their way through it all.
Performances (https://spscc.edu/about/news-awards/spscc-theatre-collective-presents-single-black-female) are at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 20, 21, 27 and 28 and 2 p.m. Feb. 23 and March 1 at the Black Box at The Kenneth J. Minnaert Center for the Arts, South Puget Sound Community College, 2011 Mottman Rd. SW, Olympia. Admission is by donation, with $12 suggested and students, faculty and staff admitted free.
