Teresa “Granny” Woods’ mind is a library filing away memories to be checked out as needed. Having access to those files can give us the clarity we seek. Keeping an open mind can close opened books, whether they are fiction or non-fiction. Facts prove what is real and what is not. Digging deep into one’s heart may help the mind see the truth. Days gone by are never really gone as long as you use your resources and do not acquire any overdue fees. Includes dinner.

Marx Theatre [Eden Park]

Directed by Candis C. Jones

Beauty, ambition and biting comedy combine in this off-Broadway hit! Paulina is the reigning Queen Bee at Ghana’s most exclusive boarding school. She’s got the trendiest clothes and the command of her loyal hive of friends. At the start of the 1986 school year, she sets her sights on the annual Miss Universe pageant. But when new girl Ericka transfers from America in the middle of the year, Paulina’s carefully controlled world is thrown into chaos. The beautiful and charming Ericka catches the attention of the pageant recruiter and topples the school’s social order in the process. Called “ferociously entertaining” by The Hollywood Reporter, School Girls fearlessly explores the universal challenges of teenage girlhood and all the drama that comes with it. Recommended for ages 13 and up.

She successfully matches many others in the city, including Horace’s niece and two clerks, but everything seems to go wrong when it comes to matching Horace.
