'Webster's Bitch' Play In West Hartford Takes Look At 'Vulgar' Words

WEST HARTFORD, CT — The latest Playhouse at Park production opened over the weekend and it will last through June 18, with a special event upcoming just for young professionals.

"Webster's Bitch," a play by Jacqueline Bircher, officially opened for a June run at the plahouse on Friday, with subsequent showings taking place Saturday and Sunday.

Shows are scheduled through June 18 on Tuesdays through Sundays.

"Webster's Bitch" is an original play set at the office of Webster's Dictionary, an appropriate setting for a West Hartford-based theater group given Noah Webster's history in town.

"When their Editor-in-Chief gets caught using some unexpected profanity, the employees of Webster's Dictionary find themselves at the center of an internet uprising over gender and obscenity in the age of social media," reads a promotion of the play by Playhous at Park.

"As office politics collide with ambition, morality, and lexicography, the future of the English language hangs in the balance."

This production is directed by Vanessa Morosco.

A special showing of "Webster's Bitch" is slated for June 15 for young professionals aged 21-35. That day's showing will feature a pre-show wine and cheese reception at 6 p.m. and the show will be at 7:30 p.m.

The reception includes complimentary wine and cheese. Tickets are $25, all seats reserved.
