GIRLOPOPE THEATRE COMAPNY
GIRLOPOPE THEATRE COMAPNY
A brand-new collective breaking onto the scene in Philadelphia and building community - all in order to grow into the Small Business Theatre Company of their dreams! Girlpope is all about the strange, the queer, and the cult-classic - making theatre that makes you want to leave the house while always begging the question: "Why hasn't a Girl ever been the Pope?"
Girlpope is the manifestation of three queer-and-trans artists who have had enough of the industry's gatekeeping. We're pioneering a new kind of theatre - a "Theatre For The People" - in a time when community engagement is more important than ever. Girlhood, chaos, and camp are the cornerstones of a Girlpope Production - always with something to say about the Disastrous Dystopian World we currently inhabit together."
