←Recommendations of Geraldine For Prom Queen

Geraldine for Prom Queen is a fun read in all the right ways: social commentary, dark humour, spooky, grotesque, and surprising twists mixed with note perfect dialogue. I'd love to see this on every stage in every high school. Beware boys who comment on girl's thighs!

An excellent horror/comedy short, "Geraldine for Prom Queen" manages to blend laughs, scares, and thoughtful social commentary into a few minutes of stage time. As an added bonus, this would be incredibly fun to produce. Excellent work that reaches beyond teen comedy and into, well, the beyond.

Darkly funny, inventive, and sharply observant, Geraldine For Prom Queen blends supernatural satire with a biting critique of diet culture and the pressures placed on young women. Burgess balances wit, suspense, and emotional truth, crafting a play that is as entertaining as it is thought-provoking.

Incredibly smart, incredibly witty, and incredibly written. Jenny's lines -- despite being largely one-sided -- are authentic and real, managing to still feel like a dialogue that engages the reader in the play's relationships and suspense. Burgess perfectly blends the ordinary with the extraordinary, the everyday with the otherworldly, to make "Geraldine For Prom Queen" a poignant, accurate, and appropriately ominous warning on the dangers of diet culture -- the latest "retro trend" yet again.
