10 Things to do in Edmonton this Weekend
Friday
See Robot Girls on Stage at Varscona
A new funny drama – or new serious comedy, about this fragile time in a young woman’s life between childhood and being an adult. What can you expect from the show? At Nellie McClung Charter School for girls, four students join the science club to build a robot for an international competition. They face power struggles, negotiate interpersonal relationships, and learn how to build a robot, all whilst facing the biggest hurdle of them all — how to survive being a teenaged girl. A funny drama or a serious comedy, a new play about this fragile time in a young woman’s life between childhood and being an adult.
