Lip-syncs, line-up, Lil Miss, and that poster you were never brave enough to put up in your bedroom because your sister-twin's still scared of you. A queerbildungsroman of athletic proportions, where the ghosts of your past don’t so much haunt as demand, sucking hickies on your neck like your life depends on getting, finally, a little pleasure.

    An avant-garde answer to The Wolves. It muses hauntingly, and with much lip-synching, on the treasured, ragged complexities of female friendship and sibling-hood and that motherf*#%er, time. (Plus it's got some good ole bear-fleeing farce.) Recently workshopped at Brown. Please produce this at your university and and then invite me! I'm desperate to see it.
