In a small town a few hours outside of Birmingham, six little girls play together. As teenagers, however, the bonds of childhood begin to fray and the invisible line dividing their world becomes more and more pronounced. Wanda-Sue, half-black and half-white, teeters between the world of her white half-sister, Charlotte, her white friends, Dolly and June-Adele, and her black friends, sisters Ruth and Naomi. As the years pass by, each woman's dreams are affected by the times in which they live. SOUTHERN GIRLS follows these women from childhood (circa 1952) through middle age. This play reflects the changes in the lives of these women in the mirror of the changing South.
