LEFT & RIGHT Special
Valentine's Performance Presented by Boston Children's Theatre:
Conjoined Twins on the Search for Love
BOSTON, MA:
Created by Boston Children's
Theatre's Jay Pension LEFT & RIGHT is an interactive two man dance-comedy about
conjoined twins on the search for love!
LEFT & RIGHT was first envisioned just over a year ago and since its first
performance in May 2011 it has been met with success at Fringe Festivals and
public performances. This past October LEFT & RIGHT won the Producer's Award for
Best Show at the New England Fringe Festival, and was the highest seller at the
Seacoast Fringe Festival in Portsmouth, NH.
LEFT & RIGHT is a family friendly comedy like no other. It starts out like any
other ordinary day for these two extraordinary individuals. Waking up, eating
breakfast, getting ready. Yet these mundane experiences are far from commonplace
for these two! Cereal races, toothbrush sword fights, a close shave, and even
the Macarena! After the morning "routine", Left and Right make a fantastic
discovery, it's Valentines Day! Sequin bellbottoms and a flashy vest set the
tone for the upcoming day. First on the menu, the office!
"Doctors" Left and Right encourage a healthy dose of audience participation
throughout the show. Secretaries, patients, and friends are well treated with
lighthearted antics and mischievous matchmaking! After work, Left and Right
prepare for their Valentine's Day night. Romantic scenery, flowers, and
"creative" music provide the perfect setting for Left and Right to woo their new
found love from the audience.
