"The Secret Life of Girls"

Broadview Heights Spotlights Theater presents

“The Secret Life of Girls”

Streaming October 3-11, 2020

Written by Linda Daugherty, this show is based upon interviews with girls on the giving and receiving end of bullying.  The play highlights the impact of cyberbullying, the facilitation of mean-spirited behaviors through the use of cell phones, text and instant messaging, e-mail and chat rooms. The portrayal of the sobering reality of these girls’ lives can start at-home conversations, providing the opportunity to reveal the secrets and address the complexities which dominate the lives of many young women.

As with other theaters, the Broadview Heights Spotlights has been unable to produce any indoor live shows due to the Covid 19 pandemic. Created entirely remotely, from auditions through rehearsals, the production was recorded and digitally edited by Tim Anderson. The Family Streaming Ticket price is $20 and is available at www.broadview-heights-spotlights.org October 3-11, 2020

Adult family members are strongly encouraged to view and discuss the production with their children. It is part of the Spotlights’ “Theater for Young Audiences” Series.
