THE GIRLFRIENDS' GUIDE
TO THE WHITE HOUSE

It's 1998 and Hillary is having a bad night. Luckily some former First Ladies have come to offer advice about men, marriage and politics.  Join us for the best girls' night ever. 
Just don't go into the closet!

Filled with fast-paced, comic banter, this elaborately staged and choreographed reading juxtaposes various female perspectives from throughout the history of our country —  emphasizing the value of women’s votes and voices; and the importance of women’s presence on the political stage.

​

by North Carolina playwright Patricia Esperon.

​
