Do You Party?

by Megan Rivkin

College freshman Abby thinks she’s going out to eat with a friend from class and her sister. This is exciting for Abby, who is desperate for a community. It quickly becomes clear that she may only be there as a potential Mary Kay recruit. How much is belonging really worth?

Do You Party?

    The dialogue in this play sings - it's quick, realistic, full of subtext, and very funny... not to mention uncomfortable for anyone who has found themselves in poor Abby's shoes! If you don't yet understand what's so predatory about MLMs, this one play has the power to illustrate the way it makes victims out of everyone involved. It's subtle and almost voyeuristic, leaving the audience wishing they could stand up and intervene and save ALL of the women involved! It's gross, and I loved it!

    Sharp, uncomfortable, and darkly funny, Do You Party? captures the desperation to belong with painful accuracy. Rivkin’s overlapping, hyper-real dialogue makes Abby’s slow realization both cringe-inducing and deeply compelling.

    Wow, this play terrorized me in a good way - super-uncomfortable stuff going on! These characters are intense, and I really felt for Abby. And the ending is killer. Great work!
