Paulina, the reigning queen bee at Ghana's most exclusive boarding school, has her sights set on the Miss Global Universe pageant. But the arrival of Ericka, a new student with undeniable talent and beauty, captures the attention of the pageant recruiter-and Paulina's hive-minded friends. This buoyant and biting comedy explores the universal similarities (and glaring differences) facing teenage girls across the globe.

"...School Girls gives us a lot to think about, and it does so in a manner that is palatable, universally relatable, and most certainly enjoyable."

"...Despite some of the shortcomings above, the play is still inherently a strong piece of theatre. The American theatre has many brilliant contemporary playwrights, and Bioh is arguably one of the best of our time. She has made a career off centering stories on the African continent and has exposed American audiences to a myriad of cultures throughout. For that reason alone, one should not miss an opportunity to see her work in the DMV, and that means buying a ticket to NextStop's production before it closes in April."
