three girls never learnt the way home

Cherry Lane Theatre's Obie-winning Mentor Project, which pairs emerging artists with more established writers, has an admirable record of amplifying talented new voices. For this production, directed by Larissa Lury, playwright Matthew Paul Olmos has received counsel from Taylor Mac (Gary). The story, told with magical-realist flourishes, centers on three girls who have been bused to a newly intergrated school.
