Even harder, I believe, is infusing a humorous play with serious, relevant themes without diluting or distorting it. Jocelyn Bioh’s play School Girls; Or, The African Mean Girls Play delivers laugh-out-loud comedy based on the familiar trope of the “mean girl,” who in this case is a Ghanaian high school senior in 1986. But this girl, the queen bee of her small boarding school, doesn’t know that larger societal forces—racism, colorism and bigotry—can upend her ambitions as quickly as she squelches those of her classmates. Jocelyn skillfully weaves a story that stylistically nods to the 2004 hit film Mean Girls, but defies its aesthetic origins to pack a thematic punch.

Jocelyn, a Ghanaian-American playwright and actor, won a Lucille Lortel Award, a John Gassner Award and a Drama Desk nomination when School Girls premiered off Broadway at MCC Theater in 2017. The play established her as a vital contemporary voice, and I'm thrilled to welcome her to the Goodman for the first time.

I also warmly welcome back Lili-Anne Brown, who directed last year’s premiere of Ike Holter's Lottery Day, a critical and audience favorite in our Owen Theatre. I have long considered Lili-Anne an important Chicago artist; in addition to serving as the Artistic Director of Bailiwick Chicago—where she won a Jeff Award for her production of Dessa Rose—her credits include work at Jackalope Theatre, American Theater Company and Firebrand Theatre, among others. Lili-Anne’s precision and sharp sense of timing allows her to adeptly showcase the humor in School Girls, while her passion for social justice enables her to thoughtfully render the characters’ confrontations with racial discrimination.

I invite you to laugh wholeheartedly at the characters and situations Jocelyn has created. That laughter need not detract from the empathy I hope you will feel for the complex young women depicted on stage. In fact, the humor might open your heart an extra inch.

“It doesn’t matter how we answer the questions, because the recruiter will be too focused on our amazing dresses!” GIFTY ADIA ALLI Top of Her Class Lili-Anne Brown isn’t afraid of high school mean girls– or directing a big, boisterous play about them either.

By Thomas Connors

For most of us, success doesn’t come overnight, but it can appear that way to others when good things seem to happen all at once. Take Chicago’s Lili-Anne Brown. She has been performing and directing for years, making a name for herself locally, but these days, her career trajectory is taking off. On top of her laudable credits as Artistic Director of Bailiwick Chicago. She won Joseph Jefferson Awards for her 2019 staging of Caroline, or Change with Firebrand Theatre and Timeline Theatre Company and her 2018 LILI-ANNE BROWN staging of Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story at American Blues Theater. Just last year, she helmed two much-lauded productions: The Color Purple at Drury Lane Theatre and the world premiere of Ike Holter’s Lottery Day at Goodman Theatre. Now, she returns to the Goodman to direct the Chicago premiere of Jocelyn Bioh’s School Girls; Or, The African Mean Girls Play.

“I started my directing career in summer stock, so I work very fast, but stay loose and ready for Plan Z,” says Brown, offering a glimpse of her work ethic. “I came into my own in storefront theaters, so I have my eye on the budget, no matter where I am now. I abhor wasting resources.” As for engaging with performers, she notes that she spent 15 years as a professional actor, adding “I know what actors go through. So my prime directive is simply, 'how I can help them get out of their own way?' That's all they really need me for.”

Brown started out in musical theater and comedy, genres she still holds dear. “I will find the absurdity in even the most serious piece,” she says. “I will bring

8 PLAYBILL out the music and rhythm and high theatricality in a straight play. If you want a hyper-real, grimy kitchen sink drama, I am probably not your girl. I would want that kitchen sink to run with blood or glitter.”

School Girls is set in a Ghanaian high school in the 1980s and revolves around that volatile mix of envy, ambition and admiration that rules the lives of young people, especially young women. Looking back at her own years at St. Ignatius College Prep, Brown says, “I may have had some inadvertent mean girl moments early on. I was bullied in elementary school and I was anxious to reinvent myself as cool in high school–but by senior year, I pulled a Jerry Maguire in my bougie social group over some mean girl stuff that was happening. It sucked. I lost my friend group that I'd been with all four years, and I didn't get to do any of the fun graduation or prom stuff, all because I stood up for someone who was being slandered—who I think still ended up hanging out with these girls anyway. That's high school!”

As her career continues to pick up speed, Brown exudes the enthusiasm of an artist for whom passion is everything and the future is rich with possibility. “At the end of the day, all this is in service to the why−why this story, why now, why this way?” she says. “I think any ‘you're in the big leagues now’ nerves are gone. It feels like coming home to return to the Goodman.”

312.443.3800 | GoodmanTheatre.org Groups of 10+ only: 312.443.3820 Skin Deep A Brief History of Race and the Beauty Pageant

By Neena Arndt

In School Girls; Or, The African Mean Girls Play, the teenage characters pine to win the Miss Global Universe Pageant, 1986. In the midst of their youth and enthusiasm, these Ghanaian young women aren’t yet aware that they are entering into a system rigged against them. The beauty pageant, as we know it, was born out of the idea that being beautiful required white skin.

The first Miss America contest–billed as a “bathing beauty” competition–was held on the beaches of Atlantic City in September 1921. Though 19th century festivals, including May Day and Mardi Gras celebrations, had often featured the crowning of a “queen,” the standalone beauty pageant emerged as American women gained more access to the public sphere, including the right to vote, and the Victorian constraints around decorum and sexuality began to relax (whether the pageant embraced that newfound independence or aimed to preserve Victorian ideals of femininity is up for debate). What is certain is that the pageant’s organizers aimed to celebrate and idealize only white women. All eight of the bathing beauties who graced the beach in 1921 were white; 16-year- old Margaret Gorman won the competition and was praised for her sweetness, short stature and flowing tresses. Two years later, in 1923, African-American women made their first appearance in the event—but not as competitors. Instead, they played “slaves” in a musical number. For nearly half a century, the pageant’s bylaws restricted participation to “members of the white race,” and until the 1940s entrants were required to catalogue their genealogy.

Photo by Livingstone Ochieng from Pexels. PLAYBILL As the century progressed and beauty pageants gained popularity worldwide, women of color found success in pageants outside of America, though international pageants still favored women with light skin. It was not until after the Civil Rights Movement that a black woman competed in the Miss America Pageant, and not until 1983 that a black woman won. That woman, Vanessa Williams (who would eventually be stripped of her title after Penthouse published nude photos of her without her permission) later spoke of the many reactions to her victory. “There were a lot of people,” she noted in 2010, “that did not want me to be representative of the United States and Miss America.”

In 1989, six years after Williams’ win, black journalist Monte R. Young wrote in the Chicago Tribune about his complex interpretations of watching a mixed-race woman represent black Americans. “It had to do with her cat-green eyes, and the golden- brown shoulder-length hair flowing in waves over her light mocha skin,” he writes. “It had to do with the way she looked. With the white man’s stereotype of black beauty.” He goes on to note that when Williams nailed the talent portion of the competition, it was with her rendition of “Happy Days Are Here Again,” in which she “sounded more like Barbara Streisand than Aretha Franklin.” Even when a black woman won, Young implies, she did so because of her proximity to whiteness.

As for the current state of the crown, just last year, the four United States-based pageants (Miss America, Miss USA, Miss Teen USA and Miss Universe) were all won by black women for the first time ever. The current reigning Miss Universe, Zozibini Tunzi, is a black South African woman. In reflecting on her win, Tunzi said, “may every little girl who witnessed this moment forever believe in the power of her dreams and may they see their faces reflected in mine.”

The young characters in School Girls, coming of age in Ghana in the 1980s, long to grow into their own power and beauty. But what or who has the power to define beauty?

“It’s more than just coming to shows. It’s about being a part of the Goodman.” Mark Hudson and Russell Johnson, Premiere Society since 2005

PREMIERE SOCIETY about us AMERICA’S “BEST REGIONAL THEATRE” (Time magazine), Goodman Theatre is a premier not-for-profit organization distinguished by the excellence and scope of its artistic programming and civic engagement. Led by Artistic Director Robert Falls and Executive Director Roche Schulfer, the theater’s artistic priorities include new play development (more than 150 world or American premieres in the past three decades), large scale musical theater works and reimagined classics (celebrated revivals include Falls’ productions of Death of a Salesman and The Iceman Cometh). Goodman Theatre artists and productions have earned two Pulitzer Prizes, 22 Tony Awards, over 160 Jeff Awards and many more accolades. In addition, the Goodman is the first theater in the world to produce all 10 plays in August Wilson’s “American Century Cycle;” and its annual holiday tradition A Christmas Carol, now in its fourth decade, has created a new generation of theatergoers. The Goodman also frequently serves as a production partner with local off-Loop theaters and national and international companies by providing financial support or physical space for a variety of artistic endeavors.

Committed to three core values of Quality, Diversity and Community, the Goodman proactively makes inclusion the fabric of the institution and develops education and community engagement programs that support arts as education. This practice uses the process of artistic creation to inspire youth, lifelong learners and audiences to find and/or enhance their voices, stories and abilities. The Goodman’s Alice Rapoport Center for Education and Engagement is the home of such programming, most offered free of charge, and has vastly expanded the theater’s ability to touch the lives of Chicagoland citizens (with 85% of youth participants coming from underserved communities) since its 2016 opening.

Goodman Theatre was founded by William O. Goodman and his family in honor of their son Kenneth, an important figure in Chicago’s cultural renaissance in the early 1900s. The Goodman family’s legacy lives on through the continued work and dedication of Kenneth’s family, including Albert Ivar Goodman, who with his late mother, Edith-Marie Appleton, contributed the necessary funds for the creation of the new Goodman center in 2000.

Today, Goodman Theatre leadership also includes the distinguished members of the Artistic Collective: Brian Dennehy, Rebecca Gilman, Henry Godinez, Dael Orlandersmith, Steve Scott, Kimberly Senior, Chuck Smith, Regina Taylor, Henry Wishcamper and Mary Zimmerman. David W. Fox, Jr. is Chairman of Goodman Theatre’s Board of Trustees, Denise Stefan Ginascol is Women’s Board President and Megan McCarthy Hayes is President of the Scenemakers Board for young professionals.
