The Bechdel Group’s May Monthly Workshop
May 23rd, 2022 at 6:30 PM

Join us for selections of two previously unproduced works. We will read and then chat about each selection. One of our plays was this year's Bechdel Resident. Kendra Augastin's "Sisterhood in the Time of the Apocalypse" is about two sisters reuniting at the end of the world in a hot air balloon. Riley McCarthy's "The Lesbian Play" takes us to the night of the 2016 presidential election, Boston University's Women Loving Women Club gathers at their president's Back Bay apartment to celebrate the birthday of one of their own. With tensions already bubbling and cracking under the surface and their inner relationships with one another on the brink of extinction, the Women Loving Women Club is thrust into political turmoil as they wage war on each other over their political identities, the definition of lesbianism, and who can even consider themselves "LGBTQ".
