A DRAMATISTS PLAY SERVICE TITLE
Full-Length Play, Dramatic Comedy / 6w
Candrice Jones
The pressure is on for the 1998 Lady Train High School basketball team – not only to bring home the championship trophy but also for their friendships to survive college scouting season.
The pressure is on for the 1998 Lady Train High School basketball team – on top of a battle to bring home the championship trophy, it is also college scouting season. But the team’s performance on the court is tested as it ruptures under the weight of its own infighting, and the once-tight players begin to focus on their individual futures. What does it mean to be a Black girl on the brink of freedom and womanhood in a small town in the South? Does honoring your own wants mean sacrificing your friends, family and team? This funny and frank play about getting a full-court press from life will have audiences cheering.
The world premiere of Flex was co-produced by TheatreSquared in Fayetteville, AR, and by Theatrical Outfit in Atlanta, GA. It then made its New York debut off-Broadway at Lincoln Center Theater in June 2023.
