UNITED WE TWEET
Book and lyrics by B.K. Wells, music by Jane Wong
United We Tweet is the story of a clown who holds the Highest Office in the Land (literally…a clown, complete with Bozo wig and red nose). His favorite way to resolve disputes is…rock-paper-scissors…and nothing less than the fate of Texas is at stake.
When California was ordered to shelter-in-place and the 2020 Hollywood Fringe Festival was canceled, the TWEET team pivoted to adapt this piece to take place during a Zoom conference call in the middle of a global pandemic - making it possible for us to literally film a Zoom meeting with all the performers in their own homes.
Directed by now-Zoom-specialist director/choreographer John Coppola.
Featuring: Elise Dewsberry, Casey Hunter, Mindy Montavon, and John David Wallis.
Piano Tracks by Ron Barnett.
