About the Play
The year is 2036, and the nation is captivated by the final episode of the groundbreaking reality series, America’s Favorite Feminist.
After a season defined by strategy, only two contestants remain: Minnie and Elizabeth. Their journey to the top has been made possible by their powerful alliance, one that has carried them through every challenge and controversy. But now, with a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives on the line, their loyalty will be put to the ultimate test.
As the final challenge looms, the question is no longer just who has what it takes to lead– but whether friendship can survive when ambition takes center stage.
America’s Favorite Feminist isn’t just a competition. It’s a reflection of a new political era, where ideals, identity, and influence collide in front of a national audience. Who will win the vote, and who will win the hearts of America?
Directed by Carlos Jiga

About the Series
The Media Arts Council (MAC) Play Reading Series was created by playwrights Julie Zaffarano, Dave Ebersole, and Keenya Jackson, in partnership with the MAC to create a space for local playwrights to hear their work read by talented actors and receive feedback from a public audience. The only regular new play reading series in in the area, it brings exciting new stories to Delaware County.
