2024 and 2025 NHP alum Phanésia Pharel’s new play Dead Girl’s Quinceañera will receive its world premiere production at Barrington Stage Company, in a co-production with Goodman Theatre and Hartford Stage.

Dead Girl’s Quinceañera is a darkly hilarious take on true-crime obsession, teenage bravado, and what happens when girls decide to stop waiting for answers. When Maria goes missing from her quinceañera, three best friends race to solve the mystery— interrogating suspects, inventing theories, and roasting each other along the way.
