Paulina is the reigning Queen Bee at Ghana's most exclusive boarding school, who has her sights set on the Miss Universe pageant. But the mid-year addition of Ericka, a student newly-arrived from America with undeniable talent and beauty, captures the attention of both the pageant recruiter and Paulina's teenage "squad." Director Chip Miller and Actress Bri Woods tell us about the re-imagining of the Mean Girls story that is joyful and heartbreaking, bitingly funny and poignant - a loving exploration of the real lives of young African women trying to negotiate the confusion of Western beauty ideals. ‘School Girls; OR, The African Mean Girls Play’ by KCRep is onstage now through March 17 at Copaken Stage.
