STRAND THEATER

||: GIRLS :||: CHANCE :||: MUSIC :||

MAR 12–APR 19, 2026

Four highly-gifted teens collab and collide one pivotal summer at a prestigious Berkeley Girls’ Music Program. They improvise and crack wise atop a steadily thrumming undercurrent of disaster and emergency. This world premiere play with music comes from A.C.T.-commissioned playwright Eisa Davis, the singular writer-musician-actor whose keen ear for the language and inner lives of adolescent women brought us the Pulitzer finalist Bulrusher. At turns hilarious and melancholy, raucous and poetic, ||: Girls :||: Chance :||: Music :|| is an exquisite and achingly true story of friendship, self-discovery, and the salvation of art-making.

||: GIRLS :||: CHANCE :||: MUSIC :|| is a co-commission with Vineyard Theatre.
