All I Wanna Do Is Be Pretty Like You
120 mins: 5w, 1M
A group of twenty something actors are trying to perform as a group of abducted teenage girls who are trying to perform as a group of pageant contestants so that one of them can be awarded the crown by their Director--and be set free.
A play about performing womanhood, goodness, and trauma for the male gaze, and the blurred lines between desire and abduction, fantasy and reality, and violence and beauty itself.
