School Girls; or, The African Mean Girls Play

1986. Ghana’s prestigious Aburi Girls Boarding School.

As the friendship group’s status quo is upended, who will be chosen for Miss Ghana and at what cost?

Bursting with hilarity and joy, this award-winning comedy explores the universal similarities (and glaring differences) facing teenage girls around the world.
