Lady T Recommends “Boys vs. Girls”

The next project I’m going to recommend is a New York City-based musical called Boys vs. Girls. Intrigued? You should be!

Boys vs. Girls is a musical about a pair of twins who – wait for it – couldn’t be more different. From the description at the Kickstarter page:

“Katie and Adam Moretti could not be more different for a set of twins. Adam is the president of his class and all around popular guy. Katie is a stay-at-home, bookworm who would rather go unnoticed then have anyone even mention her name. But when Katie starts to tutor their neighbor with only three weeks left before graduation, their worlds collide and their relationships are tested. See who comes out the bigger person, who’s left behind and who finds their own way in a world where it’s always Boys Vs. Girls.“

Why I’m recommending this project: I love stories about twins. I will write about this at length at another time in the near future, but it bears repeating: I love stories about twins. And this is a show about twins! Twins who may have shared a womb at one point, but are very different people! Except it looks like they might find out that they have more in common than they think they do.

I’m also intrigued by the title. Why is this show called Boys vs. Girls instead of something twinny? Could it be that this show is going to explore the different challenges that Adam and Katie might face in this world? Are Adam’s and Katie’s struggles going to be different based on the prescribed roles that our society determines for boys and girls? I think that might very well be what happens in this play – and it’s all going to be set to MUSIC!

Boys vs. Girls needs $1500 for their public reading and they’ve earned $165 so far. They have 15 days left to raise the rest of the money. That averages to about $89 a day. Would you like to be one of the people who gives a percentage of their daily goal? Of course you do! If you can, toss 10 bucks towards Boys vs. Girls, or spread the message to someone else who might be interested.
