OUR GIRL IN TRENTON - BU New Play Initiative

A BU New Play Initiative workshop presented by the CFA School of Theatre, and the School of Theatre's official 2014 Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival (KCACTF) entry. Maxine LaVoy has taken a big step toward history. She has just won the New Jersey Democratic primary and is favored to become the first black female Governor of New Jersey. She will soon learn that the biggest challenges to her goal will come from inside her own campaign. OUR GIRL IN TRENTON takes a look at how the collision of race, sex, public expectation, and political ambition can make or un-make a candidate. By BU MFA Playwriting alumnus Cliff Odle. No reservations are necessary for this free event. For more information about the BU New Play Initiative, please visit www.bu.edu/cfa/theatre/npi.
