    I was lucky enough to see a reading of this at The Goodman this summer and haven't stopped thinking about it since. Kime is one of the finest playwrights of her generation and this play is proof of that. IT GIRL speaks to the millennial obsession with exploitation narratives and provides a nuanced view of the institutional problems that keep the cycle alive. Absolutely incredible work. Theaters should be fighting over this one.

    I got to see the Goodman New Stages reading of this last night. It manages to be smart and topical without being preachy, it's hilarious, and it pulls off an amazing "Act 2 is very different from Act 1" switch. Please somebody produce it.
