BWW Review: TALES OF A FOURTH GRADE LESBO: Don't Ask, Do Tell
by Nancy Grossman - March 16, 2016
Flat Earth Theatre opens their tenth anniversary season with the East Coast premier of Gina Young's cheeky exploration of growing up queer in the 90s.

Through a series of vignettes, dances, and songs, Young captures the awkwardness and anxiety of sexual awakening and feeling "different," but would get more bang for the buck with some judicious editing.
