The play is an unflinching dramatization of teen-girl angst, and the tumultuous and destructive world of girls’ bullying. Based on interviews with girls on the giving and receiving end of bullying, the play highlights the impact of “cyberbullying” and mean-spirited behaviors through the use of cell phones, text and instant messaging, e-mail and chat rooms.

Bernie Szuhaj, Co-Owner of the Simply Sweet Shoppe and Second Story Playhouse, who is also directing the show added, “We’re very excited to be invited back as participants in FringeNext bringing another show with a thought provoking message as part of our ‘Fringiness.’”
