An Actor’s Equity/Theatre for Young Audiences Production
Tasha Stockmann, a recently disgraced celebrity doctor, returns to her small Michigan hometown to become a Brand Ambassador for KSI Skin Care. Penelope Stockmann, Tasha’s sister and KSI’s CEO, has engineered the remarkable growth of the company and transformed the town into a wealthy suburban enclave. But when Tasha raises concerns about the “magic mineral” in KSI’s products, she reignites a sibling rivalry that threatens to destroy the company and the town.
In Epic’s interactive production, you’ll receive an identity as a member of the town that connects you deeply to the conflict of health versus wealth. Confronted by unproven allegations, reckless social media influencers, and unreliable narrators, whose side will you choose?
