“Cabin 12” is an audience interactive theatre piece that explores the love, messiness, silliness and pain of female friendships in the formative years. The girls of Cabin 12 invite the audience to come play with them onstage – from a literal game of tug of war to revealing dark secrets, we see the ways in which girls are taught to fear, to shame, to compete with, and to love each other. With no counselors around and without supervision, what does it mean to be truly different in an environment of uniformity? What is there to cling to when your body is changing, your friendships are changing, and the world feels out of control? In what ways are we, society and “fellow campers,” complicit in the violence adolescent girls inflict on each other in small ways everyday? “Cabin 12” seeks to answer these questions while making us laugh and cry with nostalgia and recognition of our own vulnerable selves in our transitional phases.

Performances:
April 24, 25, and 27th at 8PM
