A must see for every parent, every
teenager, EVERYONE! Based on Dr. Mary
Pipher’s Reviving Ophelia: Saving the Selves of
Adolescent Girls, one of the seminal nonfiction books of
our time, this is the gripping story of four teenage girls
battling the corrosive influences of popular culture and
each searching for the personal North Star that will guide
her home. Jill is a Native American girl adopted by white
parents. Her drinking, truancy and bad attitude are turned
arround in a very unexpected way. Allie, a pastor's
daughter, faces a crisis of faith at a mother-daughter
book club when her friend Lia loses her mother to
cancer. The scene between Lia and her boyfriend, Alex,
harkens back to Hamlet's "Get thee to a nunnery!", as
Alex exposes the scary part of his personality which he
carefully keeps hidden. Beautiful Dawn approaches high-
school graduation with the realization that she's not
prepared for anything but attracting guys; her solution is
to attempt 18 Jello shots to celebrate her 18th birthday.
Playwright Bennett, specifically chosen by Dr. Pipher to
adapt her work, deftly leavens the drama with humor,
tracing the intertwining lives of these four girls from first
grade through middle school, and then through high
school to graduation and young adulthood.
