    An important and needed piece of theatre tackling an issue we wish teens, or anyone, would never have to deal with. Powerful and well done.

    Wonderful ensemble piece that gets to the heart of the gender divides in teen life that carry over into the rest of our lives. Should be a feminist classic!
