Synopsis: Betty is rich; Betty is lonely; Betty's busy working on her truck; Betty wants to talk about love, but Betty needs to hit something. And Betty keeps using a small hand mirror to stare into parts of herself she's never examined. Five different women named Betty collide at the intersection of anger, sex, and the "thea-tah."
Characters:
BETTY 1 - Femme, probably (but not necessarily) white. Rich, uptight, fueled by secret rage.
BETTY 2 - Femme, any ethnicity, rich, uptight but coming undone, secretly obsessed with porn. Needs to sing…carry a tune, maybe play guitar? (not necessary, but possible).
BETTY 3 - Femme, any ethnicity, diverse/Latino preferred. Charismatic and pretty, kind of a know-it-all.
BETTY 4 - Butch lesbian, any ethnicity, great tattoos, gently melancholic, is too often ignored.
BETTY 5 – Genderqueer (masculine-of-center), any ethnicity, great tattoos, just out of prison, owns a hole-in-the-wall boxing gym.
