    “ This is suchba fun ten minute play where the stage directions for the characters actions are very funny on their own right!
    But the is a lot more to this play than four girls clowning about, there's an important message to accept who you are and be comfortable in your own skin.
    This would be great to perform, go forth and produce it! ”

    “ Really funny (yet at times unnerving) play about girlhood and the overwhelming nature of adolescence. I especially enjoyed the subversion of clown imagery and how it takes on a greater symbolism. That's all I'll say; just read/produce it! ”

    “ I've been a big fan of this piece for a while. This high-concept (yet easy to produce) 10-minute explores gender identity and presentation through beautiful nuance whilst bombastic characters take full advantage of the social hierarchy and their surroundings. A brilliant piece that shows so much promise for what the future holds from playwright Roni Ragone. Now, what are you still doing here? Go read!!! ”

    “ I love this absurd little show. Ragone makes you examine the "world of girls" and all the strange social contracts we are so afraid to break. Lots of painful laughter while reading this one. ”

    “ Not what you expect. In any way. Who sets these standards...no, more apropos...who adheres to these standards? High school is Hell--no doubt--and competition for teenage self-esteem is a minefield. Roni Ragone pulls off a raging piece about what it takes to even start believing in oneself. (And the best stage direx EVAH.) A great acting piece that will stop the evening in its tracks. ”

    “ Well and truly had my jaw dropped by the second page and thought it best to leave it there throughout the play. Ragone turns a somewhat standard setting on its head and within the 10 minute form creates a full arc that carries strong messaging on both perception and beauty, as well as crafting an engrossing narrative that draws you into every second. Conceptually stunning on the page, I can only imagine how striking it would be fully staged. ”

    “ This play says so much in comparatively so little time, keenly observing just how arbitrary gender performance is, how restrictive societal expectations of such can be, and how ludicrous the collective overreaction to self-discovery can be when it does not meet those expectations. All this is done with the archetypical high school girls prepping in the bathroom scene as a springboard into broad physical humor, incisive wit, and, ultimately, profound beauty. ”

    “ Just when you think you've seen the scene before - two girls obsessing over their appearances in a high school bathroom - everything gets turned on its head, and we're treated to a weird and wonderful meditation on the basis of our contemporary beauty standards. Somehow, this play sits firmly in the uncanny valley, where everything is foreign and familiar at once. It's full of action and hilarious visual gags that will stay with the audience after the applause. Quirky, memorable, and thought-provoking! ”
