In Sisters We Trust, or My F*cked Up American Girl Doll Play

Oct 28, 2022 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm

$15 – $26

By Justine Gelfman
In collaboration with Susanna Wolk
Directed by Jenny Lavery
The American Girl Dolls are all grown up and gathered together for a televised Bachelor-style reunion to decide the fate of the company. But suddenly, the girls start disappearing; something glitches and we’re thrown into a glossy feminist co-working space on the brink of expansion. The progressive women at the helm are still perpetuating age-old oppressive practices, now just in a shade of millennial pink. In Sisters We Trust, or My F*cked Up American Girl Doll Play investigates how corporate feminism is repeating and rebranding mistakes of the past instead of finding new pathways to empowerment.

This is an historically inaccurate play about $80 dolls, intersectionality and self-identifying female co-working spaces.
