School Girls; or, the African Mean Girls Play — Page 2

The Goodman Theatre is also selling tickets to a stream of their recent production:

(I'm pretty sure this is a different thing to the PBS version?)

Very weird. Your post was verbatim what I posted but did not show as a quote? Did you just copy and paste it?

Excellent play.
It’s a awesome show. But it’s not a Broadway Show. As cool as it would be to have a show like this on broadway I don’t think broadway audiences would pay for it.

I had planned to see this play live at the Berkeley Rep but Covid-19 got in the way of that. I was able to see a tech rehearsal that was filmed just before things were shut down in the SF Bay Area. It wasn't the ideal circumstances for the actors or the poor camera operator, but I was pleased both to support the theater and to see the play, which veers impressively from silly to serious in a tidy 80-minute running time. We learn a lot about these characters, and certainly Paulina and new rival Ericka, during that time. I was impressed with Jocelyn Bioh's ability to borrow familiar tropes and put them in a new context that is both entertaining, enlightening (pardon the pun), and heartbreaking. The actress playing Paulina, Akilah Walker, is particularly good as the play moves to its conclusion.

I don't think Broadway audiences would turn down this show. It's definitely worth a look. This show reminds me of my school days. Now I study at the university and use the https://essays.edubirdie.com/academic-writing-services website to keep up with all my academic tasks. What can I say, I miss the good old school days when everything was so much easier. But I am glad that I found such a service, it helps me a lot.
