The Motherf#%ker with the Hat
by Stephen Adly Guirgis
3 men, 2 women
Jackie, a petty drug dealer, is just out of prison and trying to stay clean. He’s also still in love with his coke-addicted childhood sweetheart, Veronica. Ralph D. is Jackie’s too-smooth, slightly slippery sponsor. He’s married to the bitter and disaffected Victoria, who, by the way, has the hots for Jackie. And then there’s Julio, Jackie’s cousin…a stand-up, “stand by me” kind of guy.

Paulina, the reigning queen bee at Ghana’s most exclusive boarding school, has her sights set on the Miss Global Universe pageant. But the arrival of Ericka, a new student with undeniable talent and beauty, captures the attention of the pageant recruiter—and Paulina’s hive-minded friends. This buoyant and biting comedy explores the universal similarities (and glaring differences) facing teenage girls across the globe.
Paulina - 18, Leader of the pack, is determined to be as special as she believes she is.
Ama - 18, Smart, sensible, Paulina's best friend, but things are starting to fray.
Nana - 16, Overweight, sensitive, reserved, subservient to Paulina.
Gifty - 16, Loves being a part of Paulina's "pack." Lots of fun, uses energy and humor to be part of the cool kids.
Mercy - 16, Witty side-kick to Gifty, Lots of fun, will do whatever to be cool.
Ericka ("Light / fair skin" or can pass for such) - 18, From American, has come to stay with her father from Ghana. Sings. Mature minded, sweet.
The Headmistress - 40s, strong-willed but fair, honest, will work tirelessly for her school and girls.
Eloise Amponsah - 40s, Miss Ghana from 20 years ago, now a recruiter. Affects a slight British accent over her Ghanaian. Prides herself for always being poised and a lady.
