ThreeSisters Productions Presents CATHOLIC SCHOOL GIRLS, 10/5-23
By: Nicole Rosky
Elizabeth, Colleen, Maria Theresa, and Wanda attend St George's Catholic School in Yonkers, New York, USA, Earth, and the Universe. Sometimes Maria Theresa wishes her family would get hospitalised in a car crash; Wanda dreams of the day she'll be famous like Nancy Sinatra; Colleen reads Playboy, but doesn't let boys touch her 'down there'; and Elizabeth discovers a shocking and life-changing fact about her beloved Jesus.
Catholic School Girls, by Casey Kurtti, is a delicious, coming-of-age comedy about the childhood ties that bind, the stripes that hurt, and sex education: Catholic style. From the director of last year's hit, Minefields and Miniskirts, Catarina Hebbard, Catholic School Girls examines the personal impact of institutions that stand unyielding and unchanging in rapidly-moving times, and the ingenious determination of the vulnerable to survive.Featuring a smokin' Sixties' dance track, Catholic School Girls is a story for everyone who had a primary education, for every girl growing or grown, and for every boy who wants to understand the girls across the aisle a little better.Director: Catarina Hebbard Assistant Director: David Pawsey
