What is the difference between good and evil? Myrna and Myra, almost identical twins, battle each other through the Eisenhower, Nixon and Reagan/Bush years over virginity, Vietnam and Family Values. “The political and cultural divides of American life are roundly decried even as they are exuberantly spoofed in Paula Vogel’s THE MINEOLA TWINS, a bright cartoon of a play…Vogel’s text is…like The Carol Burnett Show with a political consciousness…its go-for-broke adventurousness is endearing, and it’s…divinely funny.” -Variety.

“Director Josh Hecht’s risky and ingenious decision to film the actors in front of green screens and insert them into virtual sets results in a mesmerizing play.” -Bennett Campbell Ferguson, Willamette Week

“a campy, crazy, wildly satirical play” -Judy Nedry

If you’re like us, you’ve missed seeing actors perform live and experiencing the magic that designers and theatre technicians bring when they add their touch. For the first time in a year, we are bringing you 3 “live” performances!

√ COSTUMES 
√ PROPS 
√ WIGS 
√ SETS…(well almost)

Anything can happen during these real-time performances. We’ve safely delivered all of the above to our actors’ homes — plus lights and green screens. Video and Lighting designer Jeanette Yew is using new technology to put our 3 actors in 9 different locations from the 1950s through the 1990s.
