Girl, 20

A Serendipity Theatre Collective original production, “girl, 20” opens this fall at the Hudson Theater in Hollywood!

After writing a sexually explicit essay, college freshman Jade is referred to the university's free counseling program where she learns her sessions will be observed and taped for training purposes. Behind the two-way mirror are Sam, a first year grad student, and Marty, an undergrad film student who runs the observation room's decrepit AV equipment. Both quickly begin observing Jade's sessions with more than just a professional interest. What follows is a spiral of obsession and betrayal that blurs the lines between reality and fantasy.

“girl, 20 is a riveting psychological drama I was immensely impressed with this world premiere.” - ChicagoCritic.com

“The play has one whopping strength…it dangles viewers on a knife-edge, unsure of whether they’re watching a conventional sexual-exploitational thriller or some kind
of surprise, feminist counterattack. That’s the main source of its tension. And thanks to a smart, carefully honed and visually sophisticated piece of direction from Matthew Miller for the Serendipity Theatre Company, this thing sure keeps you on the edge of your seat for 90 minutes”
- Chicago Tribune, Critic's Choice
