The community of National Committee readers for the 47th Bay Area Playwrights Festival advanced Pageant Play as a Semi-Finalist at Playwrights Foundation. We felt drawn to the ambitious reach of this script and the play’s charming and vivid characters. We hope this play is considered for further development and investigation, and finds dedicated collaborators in this play’s journey towards production.

A stunning coming of age story about a group of girls trying to figure out their places in life. Very funny at times and so authentic. A play about what it means to be a girl in a society that is so critical of them.

A funny play with a whole lot of heart. Great roles for younger actors and could see this doing really well at a college or high school. Rich roles for young folks to dig their teeth into and some beautiful monologues.
