Black Benatar vs. The Cistem at Amazing Theatre

"Black Benatar vs. The Cistem" is a wildly original solo performance by Beatrice L. Thomas. This one-woman show uses humor, music, courtroom drama, and audience participation to address Black women's reproductive health, medical bias, and patient advocacy.

Drawing from Beatrice’s own lived experience as a Black woman, the play shines a light on gaps in the healthcare system—particularly regarding uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, delayed diagnosis, and reproductive loss—while emphasizing how vital it is for women to be heard and believed.
