Arkansas Repertory Theatre Announces Single Tickets On Sale For SCHOOL GIRLS; OR, THE AFRICAN MEAN GIRLS PLAY

The Arkansas Repertory Theatre has announced that single tickets are on sale for School Girls; Or, The African Mean Girls Play, running March 2-20. Tickets can be purchased online at www.TheRep.org or by calling the Box Office at (501) 378-0405.

The critically-acclaimed comedy that's taking the theatre world by storm comes to The Rep's stage. Paulina, the reigning queen bee at Ghana's most exclusive boarding school, has her sights set on the Miss Global Universe pageant. But the arrival of Ericka, a new student with undeniable talent and beauty, captures the attention of the pageant recruiter-and Paulina's hive-minded friends. This buoyant and biting comedy explores the universal similarities (and glaring differences) facing teenage girls across the globe.

The Rep's production will feature television star T'Keyah Crystal Keymáh (In Living Color, Cosby, That's So Raven), as well as: Ashembaga "Ashe" Jaafaru, Nimene Sierra Wureh (That Damn Michael Che, HBO), Kayla Coleman, Awazi Jaafaru, Aishe Keita, Merrina Millsapp (Ella Enchanted; In America; Chicago MED), and Yani Simone (Being Mary Jane, BET; The Quad, BET; BMF, Starz; Life of the Party, Newline Cinema, Warner Bros.)

The production will be directed by Shá Cage, and feature costume designs and textiles from Arkansas artists Verda Davenport and Crystal C. Mercer, as well as scenic design by Andrea Heilman, lighting design by Rachael N. Blackwell, and sound design by Spirit Paris McIntyre.
