The Strongest Girl in the World, is a solo performance about one woman's journey to learn more about her late father and her former self. Truly yearns to understand the carefree child that she once was; her father’s daughter. As Truly tells it, she "knows [her] father through other people." In the play, she embodies those other people, voicing family members, friends, storybook characters, and more in an effort to understand who her father was. Telling a story of growth, grief, and resilience, the play is a comedic and heartwarming look at what it means to lose the ones we love. The play has a non-traditional structure, using a series of vignettes to paint a three-dimensional picture of loss through a child's eyes. It incorporates music (sung a cappella), a rich soundscape, and a direct address to the audience to create a uniquely engaging, personal experience.
