Girls Will Be Girls

PAPER Magazine named her one of the “Amazing Women to Follow on the Internet in 2016 (and Always),” and Mashable listed her in its “40 Times Ladies Ruled the World in 2015” issue; now Jolie London Glickman is making her New York debut as a playwright and performer. After years of searching for juicy, honest, and funny roles for young actresses, the NYU drama graduate has decided to write them herself.
