Cattlechisms

by Che Flory

A short absurdist comedy that examines the humanity of cows, not in a vegan way but a I'm sure these other living beings have the most complex interpersonal relationships way. It seeks to show an isolated community that has nothing in common but continues to be tight-knit and relatively successful through stock characters and general silliness.

Character Information

Gender when casting is flexible. There is a clear presentation of gender for most characters, but as gender is all a simple performance, feel free to cast actors of any gender identity to play any character. The performance of gender is more important than how you get there, ie put the housewives in drag. Doubling is pretty much impossible due to the nature of the show. The entire cast is on stage the whole time.
