The Horse in Motion
18th & Union: An Arts Space
Seattle, Washington 
April 2017

*West Coast Premier 

The year is 2465, and little remains of the United States. For the few survivors living inside a walled citadel, politics carries on as usual - with all the pageantry and partisanship of an old government that is now a distant memory. But when an opposing army shows up at their gates, the citizens of the new United States are confronted with the most important decision of their lives. With political grandstanding, personal sacrifice, and a love triangle with a robot, Wellesley Girl asks us all to confront the question: what if your vote could truly determine the future of the country?

"Director Bobbin Ramsey, who has helmed the other Horse in Motion projects, clearly isn’t bored by just a 'normal play,' and the staging has its own peculiar energy." - Dusty Somers, The Seattle Times

"When a writer intent on inventive storytelling responds subtly to the electromagnetic pull of the zeitgeist, timelessness comes to you. " - Gemma Wilson, City Arts Magazine

"I kept wondering 'what next?!' And that doesn't happen very often in Seattle theatre." - Rich Smith, The Stranger
