||: GIRLS :||: CHANCE :||: MUSIC :||

Four gifted teenagers collaborate and collide one pivotal summer at a prestigious girls’ music program in Berkeley. As their connections intensify, the world outside thrums with a steady undercurrent of disaster and emergency – and they must find new ways to improvise on stage and off.

Featuring a score with elements unique to each performance, this world-premiere play from acclaimed playwright-composer-actor and Pulitzer Prize finalist Eisa Davis (Bulrusher, Warriors concept album) is a sharp, hilarious, aching story about coming of age under pressure. What does it mean to make something beautiful when everything might fall apart?

||: Girls :||: Chance :||: Music :|| is directed by Pam MacKinnon, the Tony Award-winning director of Edward Albee’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?.

This new play with music was commissioned by Vineyard Theatre and American Conservatory Theater.

Key art photography by Lexi Webster. Key art design by June Buck.
