What is an "American?" What is a "girl?" And most importantly, what is a "DOLL?" This devised cabaret piece from Jackie Soro & Pax Ressler grapple with these questions and more—inquiries that refract into dizzying issues of identity, nationality, gender, and race. Using memories, dolls, photos, and personal stories—combined with research into the phenomenon of the coveted (and expensive) Mattel(TM) American Girl Dolls—Ressler and Soro playfully explode the nostalgia & hidden histories of their childhood playthings.
