Event Details

Running With Scissors’ cast of cut-ups return to their juvenile and delinquent roots for a one-night-only staged reading of the cult classic Reform School Girls. Seating is limited for this special event—the company’s annual fundraiser—so make your reservations early!

 

Reform School Girls belongs to the long tradition of bad-girl films like Teenage Gang Debs, Teenage Crime Wave, and the infamous High School Confidential. Reform School Girls tells the story of Jenny Williams, a good girl with bad taste in men who lands at Pridemore Juvenile Facilities. It’s a rough and tumble world inside those cinderblock walls, filled with potential friends and even more potential enemies—notably leather-clad Charlie, lecherous Nurse Edna, and domineering ultravixen, Warden Sutter (played by punk rocker Wendy O. Williams, Warhol girl Pat Ast, and cult queen Sybil Danning, respectively, in the film).  Will Jenny survive on The Inside? And how many will perish under Edna’s evil reign? Join Brad Caldwell, Bob Edes, Jr., Donald Lewis, Jack Long, Sean Patterson, Brian Peterson, Lisa Picone, Dorian Rush, Cammie West, and Liz Zibilich to find out!

 

Also that night: Running With Scissors will host an awesome raffle, with fabulous prizes! Proceeds will benefit company member Lisa Picone (who's having a fundraiser of her own soon). That means you can support two great causes in one lil' ol' evening!
