A gang of teenage girls gathers in an abandoned treehouse to summon the ghost of Pablo Escobar. Are they messing with the actual spirit of the infamous cartel kingpin? Or are they really just messing with each other? A roller coaster ride through the danger and damage of girlhood - the teenage wasteland - has never been so much twisted fun.
Critic's Pick! "Highly entertaining - equally funny and scary." -The New York Times
Four Stars! "Just when you think you know where the play is heading there's a disorienting coup de thetre that leaves you shaken.Our Dear Dead Drug Lordisn't for the faint of heart but neither is coming of age." - Raven Snook Time Out
Critic's Pick! "Highly entertaining - equally funny and scary - the play starts off as a hoot and winds up a primal scream. They're throwing quite a seance at the McGinn/Cazale Theater." - Ben Brantley The New York Times
"As funny as it is violent and dark...Our Dear Dead Drug Lordis not quiet small or apologetic. It is loud and messy and truthful. It is incredibly complicated and a thing of extreme beauty. It is everything in women that society tells them they need to repress and in this I found it incredibly enjoyable and inspiring." - Brittany Crowell New York Theatre Guide
"The challenges of female adolescence... explored with a remarkably fresh honest and sometimes hilarious perspective." - Brian Scott Lipton Theater Pizzazz
"Unsettling... Scheer's characters are brilliantly drawn... the work of a born playwright and a unique new voice... As a story of female empowerment it is both scary and revealing." - Victor Gluck Theater Scene
"An imaginative and ultimately savage new play... An offbeatMean Girlssort of dramedy that unexpectedly concludes in a violent burst of magical realism." - Michael Sommers New York Stage Review
