A daring celebration of life and the resilience of Black women, The Black Feminist Guide to the Human Body marks playwright Lisa B. Thompson's triumphant return to the Bay Area in a rolling world premiere celebrating the joys and challenges of growing older and wiser.
As scholars, mothers, and leaders, Black women have given everything for our communities, having spent decades doing CPR on the nation and having left too little for themselves. 'The Black Feminist Guide' offers validation, self-love and a collective exhale by centering Black women's voices and lived experiences: past and present. Thompson's new work is not only a joyous, raucous and spiritual event, but it is a love letter to Black women and their families who know that, in spite of it all, we are still here.
"Let the beautiful, sad, joyous women in your life feast on this wisdom." - The Austin Chronicle
"...a reminder that...our humanhood is a blessing." - Austin Women Magazine
This play "encourages Black women to find joy and wisdom in aging..." - American Theatre Magazine
