Fefu and Her Friends

Mar 5 - 7, 2026

Fefu (a nickname for Stephany) gathers seven college friends to her spacious, comfortable home to plan a fundraiser for an educational initiative for elementary grades. Most or all of the women are educators. Most or all have been damaged by men and by the world that says they are less than (it’s 1935, and also, now). Many of the women have been assaulted physically, emotionally, psychologically. Over the course of the afternoon, they talk, argue, laugh, have a water fight, and come to some hard realizations about how far they’ve strayed from where they thought they would be in mid-life. It’s a deceptively simple play. But one of the women, Julia, has a mysterious injury. A dead rabbit turns up. And famously, Part II moves. After Part I, the audience is invited to abandon their seats in the auditorium and move to four different spaces in the building to view four short scenes happening on a loop. The audience then returns to the proper theatre space for Part III, where everything is the same, but different.
