Alien Girls

by Amy Berryman

Tiffany is pregnant. Her best friend, Carolyn, is trying to be happy for her. When Carolyn's true feelings become public in the form of an essay that goes viral, the fallout may be irreparable. Time traveling through decades of friendship between two writers on the brink of huge life changes, ALIEN GIRLS is a meta-theatrical dark comedy about the joys and challenges of creating art and creating life.

    I see so much of my own/my friends' struggles in Tiff and Carolyn's characters. This friendship feels super-real, alien babies and all.

    Amy Berryman is an absolute genius. A gorgeous play about friendship and creating art. I loved the alien and feeling like you're from another planet motifs that pop up throughout the play. I loved the moments of theatre magic where are characters are given the opportunity to edit what they say. This play doesn't have a happy ending but it has a very honest one. I hope this play gets produced very soon.
