Bottom Girls

By Madison Raffield
Directed by Sarah Luczak

SYNOPSIS

No matter how hard they try, Omega Beta Theta is a bottom-tier sorority. The traits that some members find empowering, others believe will only hurt their public perception—and when two members are caught having sex in the sorority house, a motley sorority executive board must hold an emergency meeting to vote on the forbidden couple’s fate.

Writer /‘Olivia’- Annabel McConnachie (She/Her) 

Annabel McConnachie is an Australian actor, writer, New School BFA (Honors) graduate and flame fan-er of celebrity culture currently based in New York City. Wise beyond her years, Annabel made her professional debut at the age of 3 as the Phantom in Phantom of the Opera at Australia’s internationally acclaimed hub of the arts, the Sydney Opera House (her performance inspiring its name). Her most recent credits are writing and starring in New York Theatre Festival’s Best Production winner Archive of My Own, and Waiting for Gadot at the Chain Winter Fest. One of these statements is true and one of these statements is false, however accusing an Australian woman of lying is a hate crime - so please accept this all as fact and be on the right side of history.

‘Kendall’ - Isabel Vann

Isabel Vann is an NYC-based actor and creator, as well as a recent graduate of NYU Tisch. As a child, Isabel was historically indecisive and could only imagine a career as a baker-swimmer-popstar-demigod-architect (obviously). So she made the logical choice and decided to pursue acting instead. She is now beyond excited to be making that dream come true (and adding Michael Cera fanatic to that list).

Director - Helena Jost

Helena Jost, a born Marylander, is an actor, dancer, and writer. Some of her notable roles included Colonel Sandra Eden in The Trial of Donna Caine, the Provost in Measure for Measure, and Aphrodite in Metamorphoses. Helena's celebrity crush as a young girl was Zac Efron, of course. This is Helena's directorial debut! She would like to thank her friends, family and teachers for their continuous support and encouragement. LYAATUAB.

Stage Manager - Chelsea Castro

Chelsea Castro is a professional NYC Stage Manager and Actress. Recently she has served as the PSM for Archive of My Own (NYTF), Bird Play (IRT), Doing a Bradbury (The Tank), and Give Our Regards to Broadway: Bob Fosse Tribute (Madison Theatre). She is a trained Stage Manager, Board Op, and Deck Hand. In addition to the tech side, she performs on stage as an actress. Choose joy! @chelsea.a.castro
