The Stone Coat Woman is adapted from the many Iroquois stories about the stone coat giants. In our version we explore the rewards of welcoming new and different people into our lives. All people, no matter how different they may seem at first glance, share things in common including trouble in their lives and the need to rely on friends from time to time.
Director Patti Murtha has engaged the stellar cast of Matthew Davis, Tresha Farris, Deepali Lindblom, Rekha Ohal, and Jaycee Sanchez
The founders and artists behind The Betsy Stage introduce The BiTSY Stage.
Through the process of storytelling we can find commonality and community. We provide high quality, FREE theatrical productions for the whole family. Our adaptations of international folktales celebrate the things we all have in common while exploring the differences that make our world so rich.
The Betsy Stage will still be producing Shakespearean adaptations from time to time so keep an eye out for those! The [innovative] Betsy Stage 2013 production of "Juliet & Romeo: The Panopticon" took place in an Orwellian environment under the watchful eye of panopticon cameras. In November 2013, The Betsy Stage adapted "King Lear" and put his three favorite "working girls" to the test as he divided his kingdom in "The Travesty of Lear." A nightmare journey that starts as a model of innocence descends into destruction and despair for the painter "Beth" in their April 2014, all female adaptation, of "Macbeth" and the October production of "Hamlet" placed in a gypsy camp. Last year Betsy Stage delighted audiences with the spoofical, demi-musical "Othello."
