The "GirlPower" Trilogy is a series of annual plays developed and produced in part with Manhattan Theatre Source, Project Girl Performance Collective, and Girl Be Heard over the course of several years. These pieces were presented in full at the NY International Fringe Festival. Excerpts of these pieces have been featured at The White House, TEDxWomen, TEDxTeachersCollege, and on tour across the US and Europe. 

While the titles and curation of the pieces may change, the GirlPower series is an empowering, ensemble-driven collection of words written and performed by teenagers, struggling with issues they face growing up in today's world. In deeply personal material based on real interviews and experiences, the young women explore topics such as peer pressure, body image, being an outcast, different, flawed, and full of dreams for the future. They share their perspectives on love, relationships, current events, the future and creating change.
