Queens Girl in the World at Clackamas Repertory Theatre

WEST COAST PREMIERE! "Queens Girl in the World", the hit play of the 2015 Womens Voices Theater Festival in Washington, D.C., is a charming, semi-autobiographical coming-of-age story about a young black girl in the 60s. This one-woman show includes not just our heroine, the engaging Jacqueline Marie Butler, but 12 more characters including her Caribbean father, imperious mother, girlfriends and boyfriends, as she moves from the safety of her sheltered Queens neighborhood to a new school in Greenwich Village. There, where she is one of only four black students and where race suddenly matters, she begins to wonder where she belongs in the world.
