New Harlem Productions starts off strong this season with Artistic Director Donna-Michelle St. Bernard’s award-winning new play, Gas Girls, a look at the lives of two sex trade workers in an economically depressed region.

Plying her trade with the truckers at the Zimbabwean border, Gigi works for gas. Her young protégé, Lola, wants to learn and can’t figure out why it isn’t love she is finding.

Gas Girls was honoured with Alberta Theatre Projects’ Enbridge Emerging PlayRites Award in March and placed second in Queen’s University’s Herman Voaden Playwriting Competition in April.
