VIGNETTE 5 MAE WEST - 9 Minutes
No play about Bad Women would be complete without the incomparable Mae West. Dorothy invites Mae to share her story with the Sex and the City generation and theatrically becomes Mae by donning her feather boa and claiming she will only speak if she is “allowed to smoke - inside.” In her own sexy vernacular and while teasing and tempting the audience, Mae shares such wonderful lines as, “Personally, I like two kinds of men, domestic and foreign.” And, “My mother always taught me too much of a good thing could be…wonderful.” Mae seductively proves - It is possible and even desirable to live without guilt

VIGNETTE 6 ANNE BONNEY - 19 Minutes
It is hard to believe that Anne Bonney, the soft-spoken, jury-charming Southerner we meet in a courtroom at the beginning of her trial could also be a pillaging, murderous nymphomaniacal pirate. But she is indeed multifaceted--stunning, brave, smart, daring, sexy and more. She takes us on her exciting, breathless journey through the lawless, lewd, and lustful world of the 18th century pirate. We can’t help but root for her during her duel with her rival. Can she really get away with murder, mayhem, and piracy? How far will Southern charm take her? She joyfully and passionately demonstrates - If you hate the hypocrites, live with gusto and without fear, you’ll definitely have one heckuva life.

VIGNETTE 7 ELEANOR ROOSEVELT - 8 Minutes
Arguing with Eleanor Roosevelt throughout the play, Dorothy finally, ironically, transforms into the woman herself! She relates the sad, courageous, and moving story of how she, the first lady, became the larger-than-life Eleanor Roosevelt - champion of the underdog, hero to the downtrodden. How could she be anything but a Good Woman? Although Dorothy’s mother—and the world—saw Mrs. Roosevelt as the Greatest Lady ever, Eleanor’s own sense of herself was that she, too was bad. Why?? You’ll have to see the play to find out! Mrs. Roosevelt’s sage advice? “It is impossible to achieve fulfillment through another, but very possible to achieve it on one's own terms.”

EPILOGUE - 3 Minutes
These colorful characters and their captivating stories finally unite in a festive celebration-- a lively unconvetional party where Dorothy’s mother and all her “Good Girls“ interact with the “Bad Girls”. Through Eleanor Roosevelt’s mentoring, Dorothy’s realizes that good and bad are not as black and white as she once thought. In the end, she comes to understand that mother wasn’t completely wrong after all! As the final music swells, Dorothy drinks a toast to “the Good and Bad Girls in all of us.”
