The C Word... (It's Not What You Think)

The C Word... (It’s Not What You Think) is a provocative play about the objectification, competition, and self-loathing women are often expected to navigate. Five women trapped inside a museum while waiting to interview for an Associate Curator position must choose one of their number to serve as a tribute against a terrifying C-word monster. As they are pushed into rivalry, the women confront what they have learned to believe about themselves and one another—and what it might take to develop genuine self-knowledge and mutual love.
