Photo Flash: In Rehearsal with THE UGLY KIDS at the Fresh Fruit Festival
By: A.A. Cristi Jul. 16, 2018
It's beautiful being friends with the ugly kids. College student Chris wants to embrace that ugliness, and to let in her weird new poetry club friends. But her need for control, and her struggle with an eating disorder, makes it hard to let go-or to see her roommate,
Alice, as a person instead of a savior. Jazzy piano and interspersed spoken word underscore this truthful yet joyful story about learning to save your own life.
