The Committee presents the world premiere of Ken Urban's The Female Terrorist Project, directed by Laramie Dennis. The play takes place in futuristic America, where bombings, kidnappings and terror alerts are daily occurrences.

After being dogged by protestors and secret agents, Amelia meets a mysterious woman who makes her an offer she can't refuse.
