True Colors Theatre Company Presents “School Girls; Or, the African Mean Girls Play”
February 11, 2020 @ 7:30 pm
$20
Focusing on issues that teenagers face around the globe, “School Girls; or, the African Mean Girls Play” is a fearless comedy that confronts our concepts of self-esteem and beauty. It’s part of the True Colors Theatre Company’s 17th season lineup under the leadership of Artistic Director Jamil Jude.
At the start of the 1986 school year, Paulina, the reigning queen bee of the all-girls Aburi Boarding School, has her sights set on winning the Miss Ghana Pageant and ultimately, the Miss Global Universe Pageant. Paulina prides herself on successfully shaming her friends over their weight, hair, and status. When American transfer student Erica arrives and begins to threaten Paulina’s position atop her hive-minded friends, the power struggle begins. Colorism, classism, body shaming and more play a role in the skirmishes that ensue.
The show runs Feb. 11 – Mar. 8. Tickets start at $20.
