Benicia Theatre Group Presents "Bamboozled"

The Benicia Theatre Group is proud to announce its Spring 2025 production of Bamboozled, running from April 18 to May 11 at the historic B.D.E.S. Hall in downtown Benicia.

We are thrilled to welcome back our award-winning director, Terrence Tyrie Ivory, for his third production with Benicia Theatre Group. Ivory, a true legend in the theatre world, previously
directed Fences in 2010 and Two Trains Running in 2015 for the Benicia Theatre Group—both of which earned critical acclaim and prestigious awards. Reviewers hailed Ivory’s direction of
Fences as “knocking it out of the park,” and described Two Trains Running as “entertaining and thought-provoking.” With his unparalleled talent and vision, Ivory is poised to make
Bamboozled an extraordinary and unforgettable production.

Written by acclaimed playwright Patricia Milton, Bamboozled tussles with critical questions around identity, bigotry, and historicity, and confronts the legacy of slavery through incisive
comedy. Set against the dramatic backdrop of a KKK rally opposing the removal of a Confederate statue, Bamboozled tells the story of Abby, a young Black antiques appraiser who
finds herself entangled in a legal battle. Accused of defrauding a prominent Daughter of the Confederacy out of Civil War heirlooms, Abby must navigate a high-stakes court case with the
help of a media-hungry counsel and a suspended attorney who may be her only ally. Inspired by a true story, the play explores themes of justice, identity, and the enduring impact of history.
