About the Show

Hysteria Theatre presents this new comic drama about two high school girls who learn about themselves and each other through rehearsing for their school play.

Allegra and Tara meet when cast as Frances Willard and Mary Bannister, two historical leaders of the late-1800s Women's Christian Temperance Movement who shared a very close friendship (and maybe more). Through rehearsals, sleepovers, and communions with Ouija boards, Allegra and Tara explore just how similar - and dissimilar- they are to Frances and Mary.

Ambitious, Intelligent, Profound, Relevant, Romantic

See it if A coming of age play. A play within a play. Keeps your attention. Pretty lite of a show. It deals with students so most can relate.

Don't see it if It touches on lesbianism ,so if you don't like a show about that.

Absorbing, Well acted, Relevant, Well staged, Well written

See it if you like coming-of-age stories. 2 HS girls, in a play as 1850s lovers, discover their own attraction. Clever dialogue, strong acting/staging

Don't see it if you are put off by same-sex attraction. It's handled intelligently, humorously, touchingly, & (most of the time) convincingly. A bit long. Read more

Confusing, Slow, Funny, Great acting

See it if You’re into productions that have two actors who switch playing several female interconnected roles

Don't see it if If you’re homophobic and cannot appreciate a coming out play.

Clever, Funny, Ambitious, Confusing, Slow

Don't see it if you don't enjoy a slow-moving teenage lesbian high school romance, which brings in the supernatural. Read more

Delightful, Romantic

See it if You like coming of age stories, especially non-traditional ones (non-traditional in this case means lesbians, ghosts, and lesbian ghosts).

Don't see it if You don't care for the Sapphic set, the supernatural, or a genuinely lovely little high school romance that's impeccably acted and written.

Great writing, Great acting, Tender (to, er, be on the nose about it), Delightful, Refreshing

See it if you like coming of age stories, esp. ones empathetic of teenage girls and all of their complexity, and don't mind a little magical realism.

Don't see it if you prefer loud, showy dramas, can't stand even the hint of magical realism, or prefer to feel hidden the audience of a large theater.

Great acting, Absorbing, Banal

See it if You like two character coming-of-age stories

Don't see it if You are repulsed by the attraction of two young women for each other
