Thank you, thank you Will Play for Food for putting this very important story on the stage. Louisa Hill's beautiful script is such a refreshing and necessary voice.

I had such a blast watching Riot Grrrl Saves The World. The story is engaging and the energy of the talented cast is electrifying!

You don't want to miss this super fun show!... full review
