Belmont University Department of Theatre and Dance Presents
Directed by Sean Martin
NOVember 13-21 Belmont University Black box Theater
A Note from the Director There is something strange about growing up. We spend so much of our childhood imagining what comes next, only to find ourselves looking back at the things we've left behind. The places we knew, the people we loved, and the versions of ourselves that no longer quite exist. One of the things that drew me to Lost Girl was its exploration of that complicated space between childhood and adulthood, and more specifically, how it approached this idea from the female perspective. This is a time when the world begins to look different, when things we once believed with absolute certainty become less clear, and when we start to understand that growing up inevitably means leaving some things behind. Of course, knowing that and being ready to do it are two very different things. Kimberly Belflower takes a story so many of us grew up with and approaches it from a different perspective. In doing so, she asks us to consider whose stories get told, whose experiences are remembered, and what happens when the expectations placed on girls and boys are not quite the same. There is something particularly compelling about a story that gives space to the girls who have so often existed on the edges of someone else's adventure. But growing up is about more than learning to let go. It's also about beginning to understand who we are as individuals, separate from the people we love, the expectations placed upon us, and the stories we've told ourselves about who we're supposed to be. That process of self-discovery can be exciting, confusing, and sometimes painful, particularly when it means questioning things that once felt certain. As a director, I've appreciated the opportunity to explore these ideas alongside a remarkable group of young artists, many of whom bring experiences and perspectives different from my own. Their voices, curiosity, and willingness to engage with the complexities of this story have shaped our work together. Thank you for joining us and for supporting the work of these wonderful young artists. I hope that you enjoy the show.
