In summarizing the importance of the show, playwright Matt Morse and director Treyton Blackburn drafted this illuminating joint statement: “Skater Girls satirizes the self-aggrandizing that arises when artistic expression intersects with the hustle culture of late capitalism. Kate and Tyler inflate their Xanadu audition because it is an opportunity to elevate their status. Lou, discordantly, becomes an invaluable resource to Kate and Tyler despite their actively mistreating them. This undercurrent espouses community theatre as a microcosm of the increasingly cutthroat culture of performers in America over the ideal of a collaborative, welcoming space.”

This will be the world premiere of Skater Girls following two off-broadway developmental readings at 938collective and Forager Theatre.
