About

What would you do if a naked photograph of you went viral and you couldn’t stop it? That’s what’s happened to teenager Scarlett and soon she becomes the center of everyone’s attention. Rumors run wild and everyone quickly forms an opinion …or two. But Scarlett stays silent.  Girls Like That focuses on adolescent female friendship and its fragility in the face of societal and cultural pressures.

About Ubu’s Other Shoe & Staged Readings
A staged reading is a form of theatre without sets or full costumes and props. The actors read from scripts, sometimes using music stands. They may be seated, stand in fixed positions, or incorporate minimal stage movement.

SLO REP’s staged reading series is named after the infamous trilogy of plays written by Alfred Jarry (Ubu Roi) that were banned from the stage after riots erupted on opening night. Ubu’s Other Shoe pays homage to the spirit of Jarry and to all artists who strive to explore the fringes of their art. This exciting series exists to offer actors, directors and audience members an opportunity to experience incredible plays that do not necessarily fit into our regular main stage season. Thank you for taking this journey with us.
