here's to all the broken girls at The Tank

“here’s to all the broken girls” tells the story of five girls, nearly half of the entire grade, who are about to graduate from their very small Catholic high school. When they are forced to do a reflective assignment and read time capsule letters from elementary school, a secret is revealed: one of the girls has been continually assaulted by the school/church’s priest. Three other girls come forward, and they connect and share their experiences, while plotting revenge on the perpetrator Father Stephens. And what better place for their revenge than their graduation in two weeks? “here’s to all the broken girls” works to encapsulate the viciousness and strength of female adolescence in face of life transitions and trauma. Here's To All The Broken Girls tells a story of resilience. A story about trauma at the hands of the catholic church. A story about young girls sticking together even when everything in their gut tells them to run. It's about speaking up when something is wrong. About voices being used and amplified. A perfect addition to the 2023/2024 theatre scene as we know it, as it's a story that pushes us forward into the future of theatre as we know it. It's progressive, edgy, and beautifully, perfectly full of justified rage.
