Paula Vogel’s “
The Mineola Twins”
Profile Theatre will present the first in a series of five planned livestream performances for 2021. This production was written by Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Paula Vogel and directed by Josh Hecht. The comedic play centers on a pair of twins who use mistaken identity to explore culture wars from the 1950s to the 1990s. Themes include women’s sexual freedom, and the fight for reproductive rights. One twin is “good” the other “evil.” One actor plays both parts and sometimes switches between them in the same scene. This is Profile Theatre’s first stab at producing a play featuring real-time performances during the pandemic.
