peerless by Jiehae Park
directed by Delicia Turner Sonnenberg
SEP 11 – OCT 9, 2016
OPENING NIGHT: SEP 17
MOXIE’s 50th Production!
In an ordinary Midwestern high school, twin sisters M and L are competitive with everyone—except each other. They are shoo-in for a spot at “The College.” After all, they have perfect academics, killer extracurriculars and “minority vagina” status. But “The College’s” early decision admissions board isn’t impressed so they hatch a sinister Plan B to secure their future. Jiehae Park’s PEERLESS is a blisteringly funny new comedy, inspired by Shakespeare’s Macbeth, about the unbreakable bond between sisters whose vaulting ambition will not be deferred at any cost.
