Southern Girls

Synopsis

Three black women and three white women are Southern Girls - followed from childhood (circa 1952) through middle age.

In a small town a few hours outside of Birmingham, six little girls play together.

As teenagers, the invisible line dividing their worlds become ever more pronounced.

Wanda-Sue, a light skinned black, teeters between the world of her white half-sister, Charlotte (plus friends Dolly and June-Adele) and her black friends, sisters Ruth and Naomi.

Each woman is driven by unique fears, hopes and secrets.

As the years pass and their world changes, each woman's dreams are affected by the turbulent times in which they live.

Southern Girls is a bittersweet memory play, set against the backdrop of the changing South which mirrors the lives of these six women.
