GIRL TALK (play)
GIRL TALK...it's all about a women's book club discussion that evolves into an explosive evening of confession, declaration and liberation! First Lady Katrina Katrell (the over the top prissy from "The ME Nobody Knows" stage play) is back!

The exposure is devastating for First Lady but proves an entertaining and unforgettable time for all who witness it! Candid talk about self-love, sexuality, the color complex and sisterhood meshed with an entertaining presentation you'll be talking about long after it's over. Bring your girlfriends! Book Clubs!
