Inventive, heartbreaking, funny, poignant, Aaron Francis' script keeps us in intriguing anticipation the whole way though, and Jen DeRosa and Jules Bruff carry the load, spinning yarns towards oblivion; even if there is perhaps a solution that hasn't occurred to them yet. Betsy and Patty Find Out is a choice thought-experiment of a story that challenges our own views about ourselves and of that within society that is taken for granted in many ways as being reality.

This show really made me wonder... Do animals have/need a sense of community like humans do?
Do they have feelings of sadness?
Are they curious about their surroundings?
Do they yearn for another life?
And the big, obvious questions...Do they experiences fear at the moment of death?
And do we really need to eat them?
