What happens when friendship, ambition, and cultural identity take center stage?
Join the Graduative Initiative for a night on Broadway to see Manhattan Theatre Club’s production of School Girls; Or, The African Mean Girls Play, a sharp, funny, and thought-provoking comedy that explores friendship, cultural identity, beauty standards, and belonging within a Ghanaian girl’s boarding school.
We’ll kick off the evening on campus with a light meal, good conversation, and a little community-building around the play’s themes. Then, we’ll head downtown for a night of theater, culture, laughter, and new perspectives.
Take a break from the usual grad-school routine and experience New York City’s vibrant arts and cultural scene with your fellow grad students. Come connect, explore, laugh and enjoy a night on Broadway!
