BABES IN HO-LLAND
A WORLD PREMIERE
Written by Deneen Reynolds-Knott
Directed by Leigh Rondon-Davis
PLAY DETAILS
In the sunless Pittsburgh winter of 1996, two co-eds connect over a shared love for R&B girl groups but quickly discover something deeper. While attending a predominantly white college these two Black students create their own bubble of self-discovery, music, and sanctuary. The tensions of love, financial hardship, and future uncertainty threaten to destroy it.Described by playwright Deneen Reynolds-Knott as an “unabashed love story,” this is not your typical rom-com. It's an exploration of identity, sexuality, and college in the 90s. In this poignant journey, the women sing along to tunes like "Who Can I Run To,” by Xscape, underscoring moments of realization and intimacy with deep bass beats.
