Beta Bitches is a comedic play about two mean girls, Madison and Gwen, who hold a séance in an attempt to contact their deceased friend/Queen Bee. But the spirits are angry, like, sooooo angry. For Madison and Gwen to get the answers they so desperately seek, they must endure a terrifying night of contact from the other side. Yet, their séance takes a horrifying turn when they conjure the one person they thought they’d never have to see again. Riffing on classic teen movie tropes, Beta Bitches uncovers the vulnerability and humanity of teenage caricatures. It is an exploration of stereotypes, manipulative friendships, and how to exorcise your demons… like, literally.

Beta Bitches

    “

    A terrifying play with great roles for younger actresses. A play about how cruel teens can be and how lost they can get while trying to be liked by cruel people. Lots of potential for stage magic in this play. I'd love to see it fully produced. The ending left me with lots of hope for these characters and their friendship.
