"The Mineola Twins" is a dramedy. Political satire. Cultural commentary. A pair of twins. Played by the same person. One leading lady plays both Myra and Myrna Mineola. One more straight-laced, the other is a little more wild and crazy.
Missy Moore, an actress based in Denver, was recruited by Lon Winston, the artistic director of the company. He says it was a challenge to find someone who could play both roles well enough.
“There were a lot of people who read the play, and loved the play but thought that it was difficult - time-wise - to really bring to the role what would be necessary," says Winston.
The show follows the twins as they grow throughout the Eisenhower, Nixon and H.W. Bush administrations. The show opens on Friday, and will also have performances next weekend.
