I’ll Get You, My Pretty

Directed by Ellie Heyman, Director in Residence of Joe’s Pub at The Public Theatre, NYC

The School of Theatre and Dance continues its summer theatre partnership with New York production company Tilted Windmills Theatricals, following previous summer projects, The Magnificent Revengers, Puffs, and Volleygirls. This summer, SOTD and Tilted Windmills joins with a new partner, New York’s prestigious Roundabout Theatre Company (https://www.roundabouttheatre.org/), for the premiere of a new play, I’ll Get You, My Pretty, by Jenny Rachel Weiner, Associate Artist and 2016-17 Tow Foundation Playwright-in-Residence at the Roundabout:

Abigail is lost, confused, and twenty-two. When Kati, the most popular and idolized girl from high school, reaches out about joining her BikiniReady™ workout team, Abigail knows she has the chance to radically change her life. Be rich and skinny at the same time? Be her own #girlboss? Motivate and empower women to be their best selves and do it all from the comfort of her home? It sounds like the Millennial American Dream. But how hard does she have to push? How many people will she have to burn to make her way to the top? Exploring a system designed for women to build each other up and tear each other down, I’ll Get You, My Pretty is a darkly comic look at how far we’ll go to get it all.
