about this production
Cotillion, written and directed by Jeanette Scherrer, is set in 1957, a time when the stifled Ozzie and Harriet ideal is threatened by the seductive call of the free-living, free-loving 60s. Cotillion centers around Becky Teasdale, an 18-year-old who desperately wants to break free of the limits set by her society, her stepmother, and her sexuality, as soon as she finds a language for it. Becky's newly-married father isn't home most of the time, so she's stuck with no buffer between her and the society-driven stepmother, Mae Belle. With the cotillion fast approaching, Becky is pressured to be someone she's not: a husband-seeking, dress-wearing debutante. She's not sure of who she is or where she belongs, but one thing is certain -- her inexplicable attraction to the spoiled, rich neighbor girl, Cassandra.
