Loft Ensemble's World Premiere of SCHOOL FOR WAYWARD GIRLS Extended

LOFT ENSEMBLE announces additional performances of their world premiere production of PETER SCHULYER's SCHOOL FOR WAYWARD GIRLS. Performances have been extended through June 6th.

Based on the true story of a dance between cloistered, pregnant, teenage girls and Jesuit high school boys in the mid-1960s, this world premiere ranges from heart wrenching to funny. Nuns and priests, more dysfunctional than the kids could ever hope to be, try to guide the young through the treacherous world of puberty. It is an exploration of love and longing, sex and taboo, and an example of the family planning challenges faced in a pre- Roe v. Wade culture.

The Cast includes: Joe Bills, Adam Chambers (Disney's Girl vs Monster, Rosewood, Goliath, NCIS), Madison Charest, Peter Elliott, Arianna Giorgio, Stacy Highsmith (The Mentalist, Criminal Minds, ER), Dayeanne Hutton (Classsic Alice, Social Medium), Marc Leclerc, Sammie Levine, Zac McCoy, Ainsley Peace, Matthew Wayne Roberts, Molly Senack, Madylin Sweeten (Everybody Loves Raymond, Gae=mes Gone WRong, TMI Hollywood) Shane Tometich,JarEd Wilson,

LOFT ENSEMBLE will donate a portion of all ticket sales for SCHOOLD FOR WAYWARD GIRLS to PLANNED PARENTHOOD. This commitment has led some patrons to boycott our venue, and some have demanded refunds on ticket purchases. But Loft will continue to support programs like Planned Parenthood, because we believe in helping others and in supporting programs that offer necessary care to those who need it.
