The Good Girls by Adelina Marinello Role: Emerson Directed by Riley Glick Northwestern University, Agnes Nixon Playwriting Festival
May 2023

A staged reading of Marinello’s original play, which follows a group of teenagers arrive at an all-girls forensic science camp to investigate mansplaining, menstrual cycles, and…murder. But when the line between pretend and reality blurs, the girls must embrace their differences to crack the case. This new comic thriller examines girlhood in a world where it’s dangerous to be a girl. (Marinello)

Emerson (15) is a tough cookie with a soft center. She speaks bluntly, honestly, and comedically.
