All the Way West Productions presents Southern Girls

All the Way West Productions presents Southern Girls by Sheri Bailey and Dura Temple, directed by Zadia Ife, at the Hudson Backstage Theatre. Featuring: Jessica Sade Ward, Arianna Evangelia, Ash Saunders, Maria Jimena Gastelum, Katie Spokely and Swisyzinna.

Set in a small town in Alabama, Southern Girls follows the lives of six women, from childhood in 1952 through middle age in 1992. Three of the women are white, two are Black, and one is biracial. Their stories span the Jim Crow years, the Civil Rights Era, and what came after. Race impacts the trajectory of their lives to a significant degree, but they also confront class snobbery, sexism, rape, and the need to establish autonomy over their own bodies. There are friendships, romances, betrayals and careers. Some will remain in their small Alabama town. Others will get away. Some will encounter defeat, while others will live their lives in hope.

ADMISSION: $35. Seniors, students with I.D., groups of ten or more, $25. Preview on January 20: $25.
