Just Girls Talking

by Robert Wing

What starts as a meeting to finalize frivolous graduation ceremony details ends with one young woman faced with a life-changing decision. Five girls on five different paths hit head-on in a collision of values that leaves the viewer asking: What would I do?

Fabulous character-driven parts for girls. Your audience will talk about Just Girls Talking long after they leave the theatre.

Praise for Just Girls Talking

5 out of 5 stars
Jeff Bengford
Westmont High School
This play explores topics of justice and power through the lens of teenage girls about to graduate high school. I chose this piece for its relevance in today’s society in hopes that thespians could ask themselves: what would I do in the face of injustice? I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of directing “Just Girls Talking” and was incredibly honored to be chosen to perform main stage. I couldn’t be more proud of my actors, and I’m so grateful for this opportunity!
