Summary
Five women named Betty, each with wildly different lives and struggles, collide in Jen Silverman’s uproarious and emotionally layered play Collective Rage. From cheating spouses to fame-seeking dreams, these Bettys find unexpected unity through absurdity—dinner parties, boxing lessons, and even a Google-eye hand puppet. When Betty 3 takes the reins and stages her own show, the play spirals into meta-theatrical brilliance, paying homage to Shakespeare while delivering laugh-out-loud moments and raw vulnerability. Under Rhett Martinez’s nimble direction, the ensemble shines: Sammi Sicinski’s razor-sharp wit, Samantha Walker’s transformative arc, Jeana Magallon’s bombastic charm, Cindy Wang’s grounded sweetness, and Nonie Hillard’s free-spirited flair. A riotous, heartfelt triumph that kicks off Mildred’s Umbrella’s 25th season with dazzling energy and unforgettable performances.
