About this show
Betsy and Patty are a couple of cows passing time while waiting in line in their factory farm home. While in line they engage in a very interesting and revealing discussion. This play gets political, yet it's a comedy. Or maybe tragedy. Fresh off a sold-out run at the Hollywood Fringe! It made me laugh. It hit me right in the feels. Sometimes both at the same time. Sometimes you need animals to tell you about the human experience. Darkly funny and surprisingly touching. Who knew cows could be so profound?

They are best friends, outstanding in their field, though their personalities and approaches to life are very different, Betsy outspoken and direct, always asking questions, always “that person” who needs to know not…
3.5 Stars. “A Well Crafted Dry Satire Revolving Around Cows Waiting in Line”
Betsy and Patty Find Out is a hidden gem of a show. Who would have thought that two people dressed in cow onesies could so perfectly sum up all the woes many of us are feeling about the current state of the world.
