The Screen Test, written and performed by Bebe Cave. A one-woman show about delusion, desperation and dreams. A dark comedy. Betsy Bitterly is an aspiring actress in 1930s Hollywood, so desperate to become a star that she might just sacrifice herself along the way. Through a series of "screen tests" for roles that could change her life, Betsy herself changes in ways she never expected in her never ending quest to "make it". But what does "making it" really mean? And when do you let go of the dream?

"I silently hid inside of a cardboard gingerbread house for the first ten minutes of the show and then popped out to scare everyone in the audience after the first ten minutes!"
