Raw, Brutal, Intense, Great acting, Relatable

See it if play addresses many important themes including sexuality, racism, girls and women's friendships. Voices that we don't often hear in theater.

Don't see it if you aren't interested in women's stories, particularly a woman of color. If you are a misogynist you'll squirm. Read more
