MCC Theater celebrated the official Off-Broadway opening of Jen Silverman’s play Collective Rage: A Play in 5 Betties September 12.
The New York premiere is directed by MCC alum Mike Donahue (The Legend of Georgia McBride) and stars Emmy winner Dana Delany, Obie winner Lea DeLaria, Indecent'sAdina Verson, On Your Feet!'sAna Villafañe, and Fifty Shades of Black'sChaunté Wayans.
In Collective Rage: A Play in 5 Betties, five women—all named Bettie—collide at the intersection of rage, love, and the theatre, provoking them all to take a look in the mirror and be brave enough to face the person they didn’t know they could be.
Performances began August 16 in the Lucille Lortel Theatre, where the limited engagement is playing an extended run through October 7.
