An original theatrical work by Maythinee Washington, WHITE GIRL is an examination of love and hate, race, gender, identity, and self-awareness revealed through the story of a young and silent girl bombarded by voices not her own.
Inspired in part by the doll test by Dr. Kenneth Clark and new science about the brain and decision-making, WHITE GIRL 2011 is an update of the one-woman show which debuted at the 2010 Vegas Fringe. This year takes this movement piece to the Tucson Fringe Festival and the Minnesota Fringe Festival, with other venues to be announced.

Anthony Del Valle of the Las Vegas Review-Journal said:
Maythinee Washington’s production of her own “White Girl” is a simple but not simple-minded movement piece about a young black girl’s discovering her identity in a white-driven world. It’s an often playful, cartoonish pantomime, with one near-silent scream that takes your breath away. Washington moves well, but it’s her expressive face that captures us. Grade: A
