2. Girl in Reverse: A Feminine Rage Manifesto

Written and performed by Avery Volk. Directed and developed by Jessica Lynn Johnson.

Despite the show’s subtitle, this show is neither a feminist screed, nor particularly consumed with rage.

Avery has been in a monogamous relationship with her guy for fifteen years. A late bloomer, she suddenly finds herself seriously attracted to two other men whom she coincidentally meets on the same night. She experiences an emotional and sexual awakening of impulses that have long been dormant. Various parts of her personality vie for her attention and offer her advice: her inner child, her id, her higher self, and something called the Hell beast.

She isn’t ready to jettison her primary relationship with her longtime, loving, supportive partner. But her new experiences with these other men make her feel excited, sensuous, and powerful in a way she can’t ignore. What will she ultimately do?
