Broadway's School Girls will stream its last week of performances
From November 10 until 15, you can tune in to School Girls; Or, The African Mean Girls Play live from the stage of the Friedman Theater.
Broadway's School Girls will stream its final week of performances, offering viewers the chance to experience the play from anywhere without breaking the bank. Written by Jocelyn Bioh and directed by Whitney White, the production, based on a high school in Ghana in 1986, blends comedy with poignant commentary on colorism and beauty standards.
Starring Denée Benton and Jasmine Amy Rogers, the show includes Tony winners Patina Miller and Heather Alicia Simms. The Manhattan Theatre Club, a not-for-profit organization, produced the play, which runs from November 10 to November 15. Audiences can stream the performances, starting at curtain time, for $59 per viewing, with access to rewatch for 24 hours.
The show will also be free to high schools between November 2 and 13. While livestreaming theater is not new, the Manhattan Theatre Club's collaboration with League Of Live Streamed Theater marks a significant step in making live performances more accessible. The move benefits both audiences, who no longer need to visit New York or pay high ticket prices, and artists, who gain an additional revenue stream during challenging economic times.
