About the Show

In the play 'Gemini,' Francis is about to have a quiet, easygoing 21st birthday...or so he thought. Winner of the 1977 Obie Award for Playwriting and nominated for Drama Desk Award Best Play of 1977.

When Francis began his birthday weekend, he expected to see some relatives and neighbors and perhaps have some cake. However, this tranquil picture of a 21st birthday is soon changed when his Harvard love, Judith and her dashing brother, Randy, show up. While introducing them to boisterous neighbors Bunny and Herschel as well as his father, Fran, and Fran's lady friend, Lucille, Francis tries to keep his worlds separate but winds up seeing connections for and truths told.

Critic Reviews (2)

"The play is endearingly dated...Innaurato’s piece was written before the dawn of the hyper-sensitivity that would make us feel guilty about laughing at the play’s 'politically incorrect' one-liners about ethnicity, class, weight, sexuality, and more. As a result, theater attendees in 2018 will probably find this THIS 'Gemini' more funny than audiences did 41 years ago...The entire cast of 'Gemini' is wonderful."

“I enjoyed this production. Though, at times, the show seemed to have a rather low energy. There are many moments in the play where the action is simply the actors standing around and talking to each other, which is not a problem in itself, though it seemed that a few times the actors were waiting for the next exciting thing to happen...When the play was allowed to land, it was a joy to watch, particularly, the moments between Francis and his father."
