Dirty Girls Come Clean
Brought to you in part by Smitten Kitten!
Dirty Girl.
What do you think of when you hear that term? What is “dirty” – or what even qualifies one to be a girl?
Freshwater Theatre Company is proud to present the world premiere of Dirty Girls Come Clean: The Festival!
Featuring original and world premiere material by local writers and performers Cynthia Uhrich, Hannah Holman, Tamara Titsworth, Amy Salloway, Kjersti Bohrer, Alison Witham, Courtney McLean, Rachel Flynn*, J. Merrill Motz* and Ariel Pinkerton*, Freshwater Theatre’s festival will examine this idiom and all its potential meanings. We plan to take the phrase “dirty girl” and put it through the wringer. By the time we’re done with it, the only dirty things left in the theatre will be our imaginations!
By turns raw, hilarious, introspective and sexy, this confessional style festival features all new work by some of the best local writers and performers in the Twin Cities. Running the gamut from autobiographical to biblical, each piece is a unique take on how women define themselves, or are defined by others.
Audience members will also be given the chance to share a “dirty” story/secret of their own. Each person will get a card along with their program and a pen to be able to write down a quick story of their own. We’ll draw a couple at each performance and share them with the crowd (anonymously, of course)!
