Girls' Night, by Izzy Ster

Drama, chapbook, 52 pages, from Bottlecap Features. When four girlfriends reunite for the last Girls' Night of summer before going separate ways for their second year in college, they reminisce on high school memories. As they talk, and pound more shots of vodka, they realize their friendship, forged in a teenage angst fire, is not as deep as it seems. It takes a seemingly innocent game of Never Have I Ever to test the bounds of their friendship and accept their friends, no matter how many new “life-changing college experiences” they’ve endured, no matter the circumstances. Girls' Night was written in 2021 and first performed at the Massman Theater in 2022. Izzy Ster is a writer, filmmaker, and comedian from San Diego, California.
