Usual Girls 2018 - Articles Page 1.8

How do girls grow up? Quickly, painfully, wondrously. On an elementary school playground, a boy threatens to tell on the girls for swearing - unless one of them kisses him. But just before lips can touch, Kyeoung tackles the boy to the ground. The victory is short - lived. Over the coming years, Kyeoung's stories get stranger, funnier, more harrowing - and more familiar.

This hilarious, explicit gut - punch of a play bursts with playwright Ming Peiffer's bold, explosive voice. Usual Girls will launch the 12th season of Roundabout Underground, with the goal of introducing and cultivating young artists in Roundabout's 62 - seat Black Box Theatre at the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre. Usual Girls was presented as part of the 2017 Underground Reading Series at Roundabout, which also featured the upcoming production of Alex Lubischer's Bobbie Clearly.
