Collective Rage: A Play in Five Betties

Jen Silverman

Fall, 2024

Betty is rich; Betty is lonely; Betty’s busy working on her truck; Betty wants to talk about love, but Betty needs to hit something. And Betty keeps using a small hand mirror to stare into parts of herself she’s never examined. Five different women named Betty collide at the intersection of anger, sex, and the “thea-tah.” The five Betties clash and connect in this queer fantasia of riotous self-discovery, smeared with sex, rage and solidarity! Can a dinner party, a hand mirror, and a play within a play be the keys for turning solitude into understanding? Even happiness?


Themes/Talking Points: feminism, sexuality, women’s experiences, LGBTQ+ experience

Native Gardens

Karen Zacarías

Spring, 2024

Gary: A Sequel to 'Titus Andronicus'

And two very lowly servants are charged with cleaning up the bodies. It’s the year 400—but it feels like the end of the world.


Themes/Talking Points: war and who cleans up afterwards, becoming your best self, aspirations
