SEPTEMBER 26, 27 & 28th @ 8:30pm

ETG premiered Big Girls Club ( Happy Dance Dance Princess Show) at the Brick Theater this summer prompting extreme reactions from audiences and critics alike. Matt Johnston of nytheatre.com said, “there have been numerous pieces of theatre, film, television, and literature that have embarked on a journey into the psychologically violent depths of the social impact of female body image on the lives of women and young girls. Big Girls Club (The Happy Happy Dance Princess Show), part of The Brick’s Antidepressant Festival this summer, is maybe the most direct and biting I have experienced”. As a continuation of the theme, The Formula Play is a standard “American Girl” narrative with a ticking time bomb. We focus on the tension between the conscious, formulaic female story, and the deeper ideas that lie underneath by exposing three women stuck in between familiar archetypes, subplots and redemptions, who struggle to find something real along the way.

“PLOT” (?)
Nancy, an ex-Quaker from the wrong side of the tracks wants to become a cheerleader at her new school. Will she, with the help of Jen her quirky sidekick, be able to overcome the wrath of Lindsay Mack, the most popular girl in school? More importantly, will start athlete Brad ever love her back? A standard female narrative is interrupted by moments of gut-wrenching ugliness, pacified with uncomfortable pleasures and simple honesty- resulting in a deeply ambivalent and unnervingly experience of theater.

Tickets are $15
