Oh, to be Pure Again by Kira Rockwell

Set during one hot Texas summer at a Charismatic Christian
church camp, this earnest drama follows the senior girls' cabin along their journey
to make an authentic connection with something bigger than themselves. A new
play about female desire, submission, rebellion, and growing up in a religious
culture that's obsessed with your sexual purity.
