Twins presents It's Ok to Laugh

Shannon Stott and Quinn Buckner are ‘Twins’, an improv duo creating stories from a black woman’s perspective. As experienced improvisors they’ve seen the slow positive change on stages but they still often see stories told from a white man’s perspective. These stories happen by default and seemingly regardless of the actual demographic on stage. The non-white, non-men subconsciously or consciously do work to get on the same page. Twins asks the white man to do the work, on stage in front of you. They ask him to help present stories from a perspective not his own, specifically his partner’s, a black woman.

Twins aims to honor and showcase muted artistic voices on stage and in our community, so they will have local artists from different disciplines sharing their craft and unique experience alongside their show.

This show is an experience, Twins come to you for not only for your input and thoughts during the show but questions about your stories and perspectives. So come on out and share this moment with them.
