School Girls;
Or, The African Mean Girls Play
By Jocelyn Bioh
March 2-20, 2022
As the reigning queen bee of Ghana’s most exclusive boarding school, Paulina has her sights on the 1986 Miss Universe pageant. But the arrival of a new transfer student from America changes the game. This fearless comedy confronts our conceptions of self-esteem and beauty.
“…ferociously entertaining… as heartwarming as it is hilarious…”
