Girlish

Windy loves painting her nails, being fifteen, goofing off with her BFF, and every one of her American Girl dolls. But loving AG is totally embarrassing until it leads you to Internet fame and sexting A Boy and then it’s -- what, exactly?

    This play captures so perfectly that in-between space between girlhood and adulthood where you're trying to grow up, thinking that you ARE pretty grown up, but then at the same time, you're not. I was hooked from the character descriptions (WINDY: never switched from pads to tampons) and loved watching this alternatingly funny and uncomfortable story play out.

    An honest and funny exploration of growing up as teenage girls in the internet age, the struggles and the friendship. Well done.

    I love this play with all my heart. It's hilarious and cringey and heartbreaking throughout. Alexa's precision with her dialogue is a joy to read and hear—every "um" and "like" is intentional. This play deserves to have a long and broad life.
