Intelligent, Intense, Resonant, Thought-provoking, Funny

See it if you're a woman, you're a feminist, you're interested in how we're socialized early to treat women as sexualized objects.

Don't see it if you don't like loud music raw language, nudity onstage, general discomfort, and a narrative/portrayal of young women that strays f/ the norm

Exquisite, Excruciating, Profound, Resonant, Feminist

See it if You want to see the female experience told horrifically and beautifully stage, relatable stories about girls and women, explosive theatre

Don't see it if You are uncomfortable with nudity, sexual trauma, loud music, but all of this overall is very tastefully done so it’s worth it

“Vibrantly colorful and raw exploration of female identity, friendship, and isolation—performed by an excellent, almost all-female company...A very personal history of #MeToo. It isn't a smooth play, it is proudly scuffed at its edges. It feels workshop-py, rather than neat and sleek. Director Tyne Rafaeli summons up bitty expositions of elementary school, middle school, high school, college, and the present day in a production full of scattered energy and inquiry.”
