HOPE SPRINGS INTERNAL
DIRECTED BY WENDY MACIVER
WRITTEN BY ELEANOR EVANS-WICKBERG
GIRL DIRTY THEATRE COMPANY
It's 2008 and fourteen-year-old Charlotte, a self-proclaimed “performance artist," is about to get her big break at the Chicago Middle School Arts Festival. Unfortunately for Charlotte, her Mom and her two sisters—Darcy, an ex-ballerina, and Amelia, a precocious violin “prodigy”—just don’t understand her. If only her Dad, who’s busy helping Obama get elected, would show up and rescue her. . . Part family drama, part wacky comedy, and part coming-of-age story, Hope Springs Internal is a hilarious and angst-filled journey into girlhood, politics, and what it means to be an artist.

Her mother's photographs turned Lacy into an icon of childhood innocence and beauty. Now, on the night of her 22nd birthday, Lacy has to navigate between image and reality, sex and friendship, self-indulgence and responsibility. This wild tragicomedy presents a portrait of a young woman held captive by her own childhood, and a vivid picture of a generation unable to grow.
