School Girls; or the African Mean Girls Play

Starring: Cynthia Erivo, Shahadi Wright Joseph, Ashleigh Murray, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, Storm Reid, Lyric Ross, Gabourey Sidibe, and Lovey Simone.

The critically acclaimed, sold-out hit comedy, SCHOOL GIRLS; OR, THE AFRICAN MEAN GIRLS PLAY by Burnt-Umber Playwright in Residence Jocelyn Bioh is back in session for a one-night only virtual event.

Paulina, the reigning queen bee at Ghana’s most exclusive boarding school, has her sights set on the Miss Universe pageant. But the arrival of Ericka, a new student with undeniable talent and beauty, captures the attention of the pageant recruiter—and Paulina’s hive-minded friends. This 2018 Lortel Award winner for Best Play and New York Times Critic's Pick explores the universal similarities (and glaring differences) facing teenage girls across the globe.

RUN TIME: 80 MINUTES, PLUS A 20 MINUTE LIVE TALKBACK*

All ticket buyers will be sent a link to access the event two hours prior to the start time on DEC 13.

*If you purchase a ticket that includes the talkback, you will receive 2 separate links.
