God Girl
a new play by Kristine Holmgren
February 7–March 1, 2015
The war in Vietnam is over - the women's liberation movement is in full swing - and a bright, spirited 1975 Macalester graduate is determined to change the world. See what happens when she joins the first large group of audacious women seeking the Master of Divinity degree from an elite Ivy League seminary. Minnesota playwright Kristine Holmgren is a Presbyterian pastor and former Star Tribune columnist. Her new play explores the hard work, humor, and heartbreak experienced by the first brave women who dared smash the stained glass ceiling of protestantism.
