Nu Sass Productions kicks off 2026 with a co-production alongside Pinky Swear Productions for The H Twins professional premiere in February — returning after a successful run at 2025 District Fringe.
“This compelling piece is alternately intriguing, dramatically involving, suffused with touches of bittersweet dark comedy.” — BroadwayWorld on The H Twins Fringe debut
Following The H Twins, Nu Sass presents three striking productions: the ferocious queer ghost story Everything, Devoured (April), the surreal Brontë Sister House Party (August), and Oscar Wilde’s witty The Importance of Being Earnest (November).
The Sirens of Sin, a gender-inclusive burlesque troupe, serves spring sizzle (March) and their smash-hit Cluelesque (October).
Pinky Swear Productions, champions of strong women’s stories, debuts The Unsinkable Witch of Pungo, a new musical by award-winning duo Seth Alcorn & Karen Lange, in October.
Nu Sass closes with Rent Party – The Sequel, its raucous second annual fundraising party (December).

The H Twins
A co-production between Pinky Swear Productions & Nu Sass Productions
Identical twins Hilda & Helga are the blonde-haired, blue-eyed ideal- at least according to Uncle M, the researcher-turned-father-figure who supervises their highly controlled children’s home in 1940s Germany. After accidentally being exposed to American movies and music, the H Twins become convinced they’re destined to be vaudeville stars. The twins tell their story via a darkly funny, musical, reality-bending variety show.
