About This Show

La MaMa E.T.C. presents the ground-breaking theater group Split Britches in the world premiere of Miss America, written and performed by Peggy Shaw and Lois Weaver.

In their newest duet, Peggy Shaw and Lois Weaver turn their unapologetic critique and riotous humor loose on the dissolution of the American Dream. A beauty pageant on a landfill full of too much information in the midst of a giant storm, Miss America exposes what is lost in a society that is still hopelessly clinging to winning.

Split Britches’ terrific new show is a moving and provocative look at lost ideals and contemporary American politics.
