 Alligator Smile, The         Single Black Female

Alligator Smile, The

Synopsis:
Two Australians, working in the steamy north-east of Brazil, fall for one another. Michael's a naive, Catholic missionary priest, Carol's a street-wise microbiologist, researching a killer beetle. He gets caught up in some nasty local politics, she gets caught up in the local voodoo scene. It's a tale of forbidden love, science versus religion, Lamb of God versus Headless Chicken; soccer, sex and samba. . ..

Single Black Female

Lisa Thompson
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 in urban America 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.
