Slumber Party
by University of Texas New Theatre (UTNT)

Mar. 09, 2017
Thursday, Saturday-Sunday

Three teen girls coerce one another into a suicide pact to end their meaningless existence. On a mountainside in New Mexico, wonder transcends their tragedy as they find new life by leaving the world behind.

Slumber Party contains mature themes and language. The running time is approximately one hour.
