Jen Silverman’s hilarious play, which The New York Times called “a fult-tilt lesbian/bi-curious/genderqueer/Shakespearean comedy for everyone,” explores anger, sex, love and the “thea-tah” through the the experiences of five women named Betty.

What happens when anger, desire, insecurity, friendship, competition, and a little bit of queer chaos collide at the local swimming pool? Collective Rage: A Play in 5 Betties is a hilarious, explosive, and unexpectedly heartfelt theatrical ride through identity, intimacy, and the beautifully messy business of figuring yourself out.

Part satire, part confession, part full-blown rebellion, this sharp contemporary comedy asks what it means to be seen, what it means to be wanted, and what happens when women stop behaving the way they’re supposed to.

Funny, strange, sexy, and just a little unhinged. In other words, exactly the kind of party you want to be invited to.
