This world premiere play with music comes from A.C.T.-commissioned playwright Eisa Davis, the singular writer-musician-actor whose keen ear for the language and inner lives of adolescent women brought us the Pulitzer finalist "Bulrusher." At turns hilarious and melancholy, raucous and poetic, "||: Girls :||: Chance :||: Music :||" is an exquisite and achingly true story of friendship, self-discovery, and the salvation of art-making. The show opens at Strand Theater, 0.1 miles from Civic Center/UN Plaza.
