In this hilarious, raucous, all-female "power-play" inspired by Shakespeare's Shrew, contestant Katherine has political aspirations to match her beauty pageant ambitions. All she needs to revolutionize the American government is the help of one ultra-conservative senator's aide on the cusp of a career breakthrough, and one bleeding-heart liberal blogger who will do anything for her cause. Well, that and a semi-historically-accurate ether trip. Here's lookin' at you, America.
Ages: 16+ for sassy-mouth language
Anna Marie Zorn - Katherine
Becca Richards - Patricia
Steph Pluta - Bianca
Madison Nowak - Narrator, Stage Manager, Announcer, Victoria
