    This script treats the young women at its center with compassion and respect. Lang trusts the young actresses taking on these roles with complex questions and emotions. Plus, it offers some juicy scenes and monologues. Check it out!

    There isn’t a single young actress I know who wouldn’t love to be a part of telling this story. Lang expertly captures the pressure and struggles put on young girls both in the microcosm of the world this play focuses on (dance) and the world as a whole. Gorgeous all around.

    This is a wonderful ensemble piece whose characters are all nuanced and have exciting, clear arcs. Audrey's exploration of mental health (in a variety of ways) and familial/generational patterns concerning mental health feels fresh and necessary. Here, she centers narratives about/for/to be performed by young women that need telling. She does so in a way that honors the specificity of these intersectionally rich humans' lives while still having universally resonant messages about relationships, family, fear, anxiety, and coming of age. It's all so beautifully rendered with fine and nuanced brushstrokes.

    Audrey Lang has such a gift for writing plays about kids who don't get to just be kids. Kids that have to grow up so much faster than they should either through familial dynamics or their own ambition. Lang also capture so well the way girls can be cruel to each other due to the pressures that are forced upon them. These are the plays that need to be performed in high school theatre programs.
