Twinhead Theatre and Performance Group is comprised of 13 actors and artists who love to produce and develop pieces that ask audiences not to leave the event or performance at the door, but to take it with them for creative fuel. We’re interested in re-envisioning existing plays and taking on brand-new work yet to be seen in Atlanta.
In the past (almost) 5 years, you may have caught us sitting in cakes for a food drive, spinning fire at Freedom Park, running downtown as a band of Yeti...and even performing a few shows. We are getting into our sixth season, and we are stoked!

AND NOW WE PRESENT TO YOU, WITH PERFECT LOVE AND PERFECT TRUST,
OUR TENTATIVE 2008 SEASON:
1. Loaded Guns Vol. 3: The Movie!
APRIL 5 @ The Plaza Theater, 1049 Ponce De Leon Ave. (404) 873-1939
Some of our older (and sexier) fans may remember Loaded Guns and Loaded Guns Vol. 2: A Loaded Guide to Parenting, a series of sketches written and produced by Twinhead. Well, Loaded Guns Vol. 3: The Movie! is the same filmed and filled with all new material written by yours truly! Through film, we plan to expand our horizons and blow your mind even farther than we've ever blown them before!
Directed by Eli Banks, Jamie Gaar and Julian Modugno
**WARNING** This show is for mature audiences. Not recommended for children. Includes nudity, mature language, sexual situations, innuendoes, blood, fart jokes, etc.
2. Pterodactyls by Nicky Silver
Thursday-Saturday, April 17th-26th, at PushPush Theatre, 121 New Street, Decatur, GA 30030. $7-$12
A full-length dark comedy about a dysfunctional family whose constant denial--of sexual urges towards each other, of latent homosexuality, of death--leads them ever onward directly to--hence the name--extinction.
Directed by Kristi DeVille

3. Choose-your-own-Adventure: The Play
Late JUNE, Location TBD
Remember these beloved books from your childhood? Twinhead has taken one of the most successful book series of all time and turned it into an interactive adventure play where the audience gets to decide where the story will go next. Does Twinhead enter the Mayan temple of doom, or do we turn back and take our chances in the Egyptian pyramid??
4. Twinhead Turns Five
AUGUST, Location TBD
We're officially 5 year olds now! Maybe we can graduate to poo poo jokes.
5. Donkey Punch!
Various dates and local bars
This is our traveling 1 hour salute to politics. Since this year is an election year, we're fully taking advantage of all the wackiness and making a Twinheadian style political show... or maybe apolitical, or maybe some other shit all together; who knows?? Come celebrate your right to vote with Twinhead!
Have you registered to vote yet?
6. Shake 'n Bake 2: Electric Boogaloo
SEPTEMBER @ Cabbagetown Amphitheater, corner of Tye St. and Kirkwood St.
Due to the unbelievably HUGE success of last summer's Shake 'N Bake, Twinhead will attack the Bard again!! This time we're using different plays and a different device to bring you another awesome evening of Elizabethan hilarity you've never seen before.
Bring your blanket and some picnic goodies! Oh, and take this tab of acid; it'll help.
A scene from last year; Shylock was a hit!
7. Forks, Knives, and Murder Weapons
Mid-NOVEMBER, @ Manuel's Tavern, 602 N Highland Ave. (404) 525-3447
Twinhead takes a STAB (oh, you know I had to) at Mystery Dinner Theatre! You won't want to miss what our demented little minds can come up with.
Food + Alcohol + Murder = Twinhead.
8. Cakesit 4
JANUARY 2009, Location TBD, admission $5 or 5 canned good
Omigod, we're back again! This annual fundraiser is slowly becoming an Atlanta tradition! The tentative themes for this year are as follows:
** Cakethroat
** Lil Debbie Does Dallas
** Are You There, God? It's Me, Cakesit
We've got a lot in store for you in 2008!

By Nicky Silver
Directed by Kristi DeVille
PushPush Theatre, Apr 17-19 & 24-26
This dark comedy wowed audiences once again proving that Twinhead still has the aptitude for the dramatic. But what would a Twinhead show be without the mention of fisting?
Pterodactyls was Kristi DeVille's last show with Twinhead Theatre. Kristi, Seth and baby Neva are moving to Vermont for greener pastures (quite literally). We wish our favorite lil' family the best of luck and we'll miss them dearly!
WE LOVE YOU, KRE!
