I had the privilege of being touched by this story in February at KCACTF as a respondent. For me, any script that invites an audience inside a complex world that is often forgotten is worth everything. Betty Jean is one such script. It gracefully dances on the dance floor of such difficult and inevitable topics for almost every one in America. We don't like to think about what being in a facility is like. We don't want to think about what losing our sense of self is like. This script makes you think about it. Bravo!

I responded to a KCACTF reading of this script and was touched by how the central figure impacts each person that comes into contact with her. I was also blown away by how much grace is given to each character (even the ones we don’t want to like at first). Very heartwarming (and heart wrenching) play with roles for older actors.
