Superfan – Alma Tavern Theatre
June 17 - June 18
Iris, Molly, Suzy and Dorothy are four thirteen girls who have formed an obsessive fan club around heartthrob movie star Paul Chamalordi. They’d rather spend their time running top fanpage @chamalordiupdates or bidding on a strand of his hair on Ebay than go talk to gross boys their age.
When they win a fan competition to go to Los Angeles and meet their idol, it seems like a miraculous bid for their dreams to come true. But ugly cracks come to the surface – in their idol, in their relationship to one another and in the stories they have built around love, admiration and girlhood.
The sharp comedy explores the obsessive nature of girlhood, fandom culture and the painful experience of growing up.
