Molly Smith Metzler

"When Devon visits Simone for an end-of-summer sibs fest on Martha's Vineyard, she finds her little sister changed beyond recognition. As personal assistant to wealthy and demanding trophy wife Michaela Kell, Simone enjoys a lavish beachfront lifestyle that these girls never could have imagined growing up in blue-collar Buffalo—but is all this luxury really free of cost? Worlds collide and sisters square off in this keenly observed comedy about ambition, regret, and the choices that shape who we become."

This season’s Festival will also include productions of new work by Marc Bamuthi Joseph, Dan Dietz, Jennifer Haley, Jordan Harrison, Allison Moore, Peter Sinn Nachtrieb, A. Rey Pamatmat, Marco Ramirez, Adam Rapp and Anne Washburn.

Molly’s BU thesis play, Training Wisteria, was the winner of multiple awards at KCACTF in 2003.

Congrats Molly!
