ThreeSisters Productions and MadCat Present CATHOLIC SCHOOL GIRLS

Catholic School Girls by Casey KurttiMetro Arts 5 - 23 October 2010 Presented by ThreeSisters Productions and MadCat creative connections: the girls whobrought you Bronte and Minefields and Miniskirts.

‘Jesus, this is Elizabeth, Elizabeth McHugh, fourth grade...' Elizabeth, Colleen, Maria Theresa, and Wanda attend St George's Catholic School inYonkers, New York, USA, Earth, and the Universe. Sometimes Maria Theresa wishes herfamily would get hospitalised in a car crash; Wanda dreams of the day she'll be famouslike 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. Fromthe director of last year's hit, Minefields and Miniskirts, Catarina Hebbard, Catholic School Girls examines the personal impact of institutions that stand unyielding andunchanging in rapidly-moving times, and the ingenious determination of the vulnerableto survive.

Featuring a smokin' Sixties' dance track, Catholic School Girls is a story for everyone whohad a primary education, for every girl growing or grown, and for every boy who wantsto understand the girls across the aisle a little better.Featuring Nelle Lee, Kathryn Marquet, Kylie Morris, Rebecca Roberts
