While there are a number of lines that I can’t stop thinking of, one in particular remains, “Names are only names, you see.” What a line that is! And that final scene. It was everything I could've asked for and more. (I cannot go into greater detail or else I’ll spoil it, but it all comes together so beautifully)!

Oh my gosh, I fell in love with these girls! This coming of age story about three friends in a Catholic school about to be confirmed captures that stage of life so well: confusion, drifting apart, strong opinions that you just formed but believe you will take to your grave, the fear of being different... It is all here, and woven together with some of the best teenage dialogue you'll ever read. This play flew by, and I was sad to say goodbye to these girls. I want to stay and see what they become!

Incredibly smart, incredibly funny, and so insightful into a very specific moment of high school. So few playwrights know how to write teenage characters. Kathryn 100% does.
