Hungry Teenage Track Stars revolves around five young teenage girls on the night of, and day after, the biggest high school race of their lives. The show uses a feminist narrative approach to explore the complicated relationships young female runners have with their bodies, sexuality, and each other. The play is written by Anikka Levken and directed by Molly Fonseca.
“And, I don’t know, I didn’t want to hear my parents fighting all of the time. I felt like, when I was home, I took up so much space in their house. Like the fights were too much, the lawyers were too much, the tears were too much, I was too much. I just wanted to disappear. Sometimes I still feel like that. Like I’m taking up too much space, too much attention. And I don’t. I don’t know what to do with that. But that’s not strength.”
Hungry Teenage Track Stars plays at Hyde Park Theatre September 26 - October 12, 2024. Visit the Broad Theatre website for more information and to purchase tickets.

Covered off-street parking for the patrons of HPT is available during performances in the lot at 4315 Guadalupe Street, just north of the late and much lamented Parlor, now empty. You can drive through The Parlor's former parking lot to reach it. Evening HPT parking also available at the Hyde Park Church of Christ on the northeast corner of 43rd & Avenue B.
