My overall impression

This show was so much fun to watch. It took me back to my grrrlhood in so many lovely and unexpected ways. I would totally go see this again. Afterwards, me and my home girl rocked out to Sleater Kinney, in my Mom’s white Volvo station wagon (it’s Fringe and we needed a really big people/sets/props hauler), and talked about what it was like to be those kind of teenaged girls. The things I loved in this were the live music, the zine artwork, the romance of it all, the use of space, and a fair chunk of the monologues that felt inspired by zine articles.

I loved this. Felt very cinematic. I left wanting more. Thanks for telling the story of grrrls like me. Much appreciated.
