In a divided America, two families meet at the fault line between what we know and what we choose to believe: a single father devoted to conspiracy, raising a teenage climate activist who sees the world with unflinching precision, crosses paths with an evangelical widow and her fiercely intelligent, faithless son. As their lives entwine, love sparks – then strains – under the weight of grief, ideology, and longing. Darkly comic and deeply human, THE BELIEVERS is a portrait of people reaching for certainty in an uncertain world – and the risky, necessary act of choosing each other anyway.
The playwright, director, and stars of School Girls; Or, the African Mean Girls Play discuss the comedy, sisterhood, and themes behind the new Broadway production.
