The Trail & District Arts Council presents The Myrtle Sisters show “Same Same Different”, an outrageously fun and insightful experience for kids ages 4-17 years old and their families to enjoy together. The show is on Sunday, March 30 at 3:00 pm in The Bailey Theatre and is part of the TECK Family Series.
The Myrtle Sisters had always dressed, sang, danced, talked and even eaten the same. They were so alike that they could hardly tell themselves apart, until one day a series of calamities revealed each sisters’ secret uniqueness! Can they keep these oddities from one another? Will they still be part of the trio if their differences are discovered?
"Same Same Different" is a three part harmony, tap and swing dance spectacle about self-expression and celebrating differences. Through original and historic live music and dance, The Myrtle Sisters embrace their individuality and learn to work together. Expect plenty of charm, shenanigans, surprises and mishaps in this silly, heartfelt, musical journey where they discover we can be our unique selves and still belong.
“This show opens young eyes and spirits to the world of self expression, growth mindset, following one’s heart, 1920’s history, clowning, many music forms and copious amounts of creativity” - Wolf School
“The Myrtle Sister’s are a real-life version of the Triplets of Belleville. The action, which includes slow-motion pie fights and fishbowl headstands, is nothing less than inspired insanity.” - Orlando Weekly
