Southern Girls Reviews
LA Splash- Recommended
"...Helmed by skilled director Zadia Ife, SOUTHERN GIRLS tells a story whose time has come, a tale of racial evolution in America but a story that has not yet reached its climax. The cast proves up to the task of growing from kindergarteners to stalwart middle-aged ladies and they also turn out to have some hidden talents, including some strong vocals and dancing. This is an intriguing and involving piece which lays out details in American history that are often glossed over."
Stage Raw- Recommended
"...Southern Girls is brutal to its characters as they grow up, piling on abuse, lynching, rape, misogyny, unwanted pregnancy, infidelity, and racism both quotidian and violent. Its a fine and sometimes inscrutable line between accurately portraying the very real pain women and particularly Black women experienced during this time period in American history and defining characters by the suffering they endure. Southern Girls threatens to sink into the land of melodrama but is saved by the detailed characterizations from its talented ensemble."
