Twins! This week we interview twins Kim and Kelli Lennox. We talk to them about being twins, their work behind the curtain in costumes, hair and makeup, and "the whole show" behind stage--as well as a little bit of acting. We go into their marketing background, and what things people in theatre can do to market themselves. The best thing yet, the whole episode is a twin story!
