The Rust Belt Ponies Meet Up Group for Adult Fans of My Little Pony has gathered in Ben's Philadelphia apartment, but two members have not yet arrived. A new recruit seems unusually shy and curiously paranoid about a local neighborhood watch group. What happened to their Pegasister, Maggie? Why is Brony Doug so paranoid? What does it all have to do with the 9/11 Truthers and an emerging group of "concerned citizens?" In the midst of increasing violence and authoritarianism, how can our heroes see the magic in Everypony? And, even worse, what if they do? And that's just the first ten minutes of Eric John Meyer's amazing and timely new comedy. With its My Little Pony cult prism, Meyer explores the rise of a new social order and how the currents of history, normalization and fear can sweep up even the most Generous ponies of Celestia.

*A Brony (bro + pony) is a fan of the children's cartoon My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic who is outside the target demographic of little girls, mostly guys from their teens to 30s. Though they face a fair amount of ridicule and bullying, the phenomenon has developed a massive online presence, local meet up groups, annual Bronycons, charity organizations, and other community endeavors.
