About the Play:
Tweetering, pandashrews, and undying giddiness for James Madison
-- what else could you expect to find at a Miss America pageant?
In this hilarious, raucous, all-female "power-play" inspired by
Shakespeare's Shrew, contestant Katherine has political
aspirations to match her beauty pageant ambitions. All she needs
to revolutionize the American government is the help of one
ultra-conservative senator's aide on the cusp of a career
breakthrough, and one bleeding-heart liberal blogger who will do
anything for her cause. Well, that and a
semi-historically-accurate ether trip. Here's lookin' at you,
America.
Roles:
- Katherine: The current Miss Georgia. Also has a
Constitutional Law degree. Mastermind and Southern Belle… Also
plays George and Martha Washington, 1787. And Dolly Madison
(Martha with a brown wig)
- Patricia: Aide to Senator Peter Baxter (R-GA). Smart,
ambitious, and very conservative...Also plays James Madison,
1787. She spends a significant amount of the play sans pants.
- Bianca: Liberal activist, blogger, and social media
influencer. Passionate, intelligent, and Did I Mention
Liberal?...Also plays the sickly sweet Intern, and Charles
Pickney, 1787.
