About the play:
Dr. Rees Ziti's Pageant For A Better Future is a bombastic, futuristic beauty pageant set in 2079 where the contestants compete to avoid forced sterilization.
After a climate catastrophe has led to resource decay and overpopulation, the US government has created the pageant to determine the woman who will lead us into the future.
Come for the pageant glamour, stay for a conversation about eugenics, choice, and bodily autonomy.
