Geffen Playhouse

A brand-new play by playwright and performer Justin Elizabeth Sayre, THREE LITTLE GIRLS DOWN A WELL is a doom comedy for children.

Now a year later, they've all survived, but will they ever be saved, or must they continue a life underground? A comedy about death, grace, towering doom, and the will to go on. As the world premiere, THREE LITTLE GIRLS DOWN A WELL is a comedy for our time.
