Disarming Girls tickets

Disarming Girls tells the extraordinary true story of Hannie Schaft, Truus Oversteegen, and Freddie Oversteegen—three young women who became unexpected heroes of the Dutch resistance in the Nazi-occupied Netherlands. As they navigate the harsh realities of 1941, their conviction and cunning challenge traditional roles and redefine what it means to fight for justice. With a powerful ensemble cast bringing wartime Europe to life, Disarming Girls is a gripping exploration of sisterhood and the quiet strength that changes history. American University hosts this world premiere performance at Greenberg Theatre.  

Content: Violence, guns.
