Written by Jocelyn Bioh, School Girls; Or, The African Mean Girls Play is a critically acclaimed, sharp, hilarious, and heartfelt comedy set in 1986 at an elite all-girls boarding school in Ghana. As the school prepares to compete in a prestigious national beauty pageant, rivalries ignite, alliances shift, and the girls grapple with questions of identity, tradition, and Western influence. Written with wit and bold honesty, the play explores beauty standards, colonialism, colorism, and self-worth through the lens of teenage ambition and sisterhood. With vibrant characters and fast-paced dialogue, School Girls balances laugh-out-loud moments with powerful social commentary. The play has received widespread praise for its fearless storytelling and previously enjoyed a successful run at Chicago’s Goodman Theatre, further cementing its place as a contemporary theatrical standout. Both entertaining and thought-provoking, School Girls invites audiences to reflect on who gets to define beauty and what it truly means to claim your own voice in a world determined to shape you.
