  • Kaily Anderson: DEAD GIRL’S QUINCEAÑERA

    This play so perfectly depicts the big, chaotic nature of girlhood, where you give all of your heart to everything: to friendships, ambitions, unfairness, student government, love, and, when needed, solving crime. And yet, despite the uncontainable energy that spills out of this play, its characters are meticulously true with tender stories to share. When it premieres in Colorado, I’m seated.

    I absolutely loved the relationships between the three friends in this play. Such strong yet vulnerable, dramatic yet authentic, and ultimately compelling characters!

    A snappy, hilarious, and ultimately heart-gripping play about teenaged girls on the brink of symbolic 15 year old womanhood trying to find their place--and missing friend-- in our often messed up world. Touches upon a bunch of different topics in a way that feels deft, natural, and best of all, story motivated. + an amazing P.S.
