Collective Rage: A Play in Five Betties/”Collective Rage: A Play in 5 Betties”

Comedy about 5 women named Betty explores relationships, love, and the need to be who you really are. This wildly raucous play deals with all sorts of women's issues in a parody of sterotypes but also has lots of heart. "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.”" - playwright's website
