OUR STORY The Hero Twins: Blood Race is a brand new, original story inspired by the politics and culture of classic Mayan society. This adventure-filled play takes the audience on a journey where our main character runs in a competitive race to free her people. The Hero Twins was co-produced with Paramount Theater and has recently concluded touring schools in the Austin area.
OUR INVITATION FROM THE DIRECTORS AND ACTORS This is a PLAY. It's not a stay quiet, or a hush your neighbor, or a sit on your hands. It's a PLAY, and we welcome you to be playful with us. Cheer for your favorite characters! Yell at characters that are behaving badly. Clap, slap, stomp, hum and sing along with the show! In many times, in many places, theatre has been performed during festivals and parties. Unfortunately, not too long ago, many people forgot how to play and started asking audiences to act more like students in a quiet library and less like party-goers. Our favorite part of performing THE HERO TWINS: BLOOD RACE is that we get to perform the show with YOU. You are the other half of the performance. The more energy you send toward the actors the better they will become. Go ahead, be playful. That's why we are all here! -The Hero Twins Directors and Actors
