BIG GIRLS CLUB (THE FORMULA PLAY) @ Here Arts Center

Everywhere Theatre Group premiered Big Girls Club ( Happy Dance Dance Princess Show) at the Brick Theater summer 2009 prompting extreme reactions from audiences and critics alike. Matt Johnston of nytheatre.com said, “there have been numerous pieces of theatre, film, television, and literature that have embarked on a journey into the psychologically violent depths of the social impact of female body image on the lives of women and young girls. Big Girls Club (The Happy Happy Dance Princess Show), part of The Brick’s Antidepressant Festival this summer, is maybe the most direct and biting I have experienced”. The Formula Play is a second installment of the Big Girls Club series that attempts to form a cohesive narrative of the American Girl Story that only self-destructs. Taking into account the extreme reactions from the first installment, we focus on the tension between the conscious, formulaic female story, and the deeper ideas that lie underneath by exposing three women stuck in between familiar archetypes, subplots and redemption attempting to escape and kill each other along the way. There will be moments of gut-wrenching ugliness, pacified with uncomfortable pleasures and simple honesty- resulting in a deeply ambivalent and unnerving experience of theater.
Tickets are $15
