About the Event

ABOUT THE PLAY

Barbie is a glamorous pageant queen who life falls apart when she loses the title she was destined to win. This loss sends her into a spiral of self doubt and discovery. Throughout her journey she is plagued by a constant reminder of her past failures. Barbie tries to pull herself out of her slump and figure out how to feel beautiful once again; inside and out.

ABOUT THE PLAYWRIGHT

Emily Case is currently an acting student at Lanagara College’s Studio 58 acting program and will begin her final term in September. Some of her notable roles include Little Sally (Urinetown the Musical), Calista (Anonymous), and Bobby James (Concord Floral). This is the first play she has written and is so thrilled to have it read on this platform in this wild time.
