the tall girls (world premiere)

1156 new theatre, may 6-14, 2011

welcome to poor prairie, the dusty, desolate town where fifteen-and-a-half-year-old jean has been exiled. it’s a grim, dangerous place to eke out an existence as a teenage girl —- until a handsome man with a past arrives, a brand-new basketball in tow.  but as the town’s girls form a team set on making it out of poor prairie, a murky committee of townspeople threatens to stamp out the existence of girls’ sports altogether.
