Girl Dad by Justin Lemieux

Dallas Solo Fest

DIRECTOR

Girl Dad is a heart-warming exploration of one man's understanding of masculinity, written by Justin Lemieux and directed by Jenna Richanne Hannum. When Justin becomes a father to only daughters his expectations are upended and he must confront his assumptions about what girls experience in the world. This memory piece is an examination of past relationships and the everyday realities of living with two little girls.

More Info

“By turns hilarious, tender, sometimes both, what makes Girl Dad so effective is the way Lemieux interweaves memories of past relationships into a cohesive whole, like the braids in my daughters’ hair I never could figure out how to do.” – John Gempel, D MAGAZINE

“Lemieux, in collaboration with director Jenna Richanne Hannum, has a perfect grasp on the slightly nebbish-y version of himself he’s portraying and a lovely, gentle sense of comic timing…” – Jill Sweeney, THEATRE JONES
