Return Engagement: At The Broadway Theatre in Vista....
"Our Story Our Songs"

Gemini Productions presents Our Story Our Songs - a cabaret of songs, dances and stories performed by identical twins, Shelly Hart Breneman and Shauna Hart Ostrom. After enjoying a successful run in August Our Story Our Songs will return for ONE WEEKEND ONLY on January 19, 20 & 21 as a special engagement at the Broadway Theatre in Vista, 340 East Broadway, Vista, CA. For tickets please call (760) 806-7905. 

"These twins are true triple threats (singers, dancers, and actors). The show [Our Story Our Songs] is a music lover’s joy and not to be missed." Hitch Hitchcox 

Shelly and Shauna have performed together since their childhood, and have appeared together in over a dozen roles with local theatre companies including Premiere Productions/Broadway Theatre, PowPac, Patio Playhouse and Lyric Opera San Diego. Most recently they co-starred as Daisy and Violet Hilton in the San Diego Premiere of "Side Show" at the Avo Playhouse to rave reviews:

"Shauna Hart Ostrom and Shelly Hart Breneman are delightful together; both sport strong voices (and degrees in vocal performance) and excellent characterizations: the star-struck, success-oriented, million-dollar-smile Ostrom as the outgoing Daisy and Breneman thoroughly credible as the more subdued Violet, who just wants to be a ‘normal’ homebody." Pat Launer

"The show's best numbers include the twins' duet "Who Will Love Me As I Am?" The Poway twins are mirror images of each other, their acting and dancing is well-synced, and their powerhouse voices blend beautifully. They also do a great job distinguishing the distinct personalities of Daisy (the spotlight-loving extrovert) and Violet (the shy homebody who longed for marriage and family)." Pam Kragen

"The Hart twins tell much of the story through their beautiful rendition of their songs: Feelings You’ve Got To Hide, When I’m By Your Side, We Share Everything, Who Will Love Me As I Am?, and their final number I Will Never Leave You. One of the more heart-rending moments is their angry rendition of Leave Me Alone." Hitch Hitchcox

Shelly received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Music from California State University Fullerton, and her Master of Music degree from University of Hawaii. Shelly is currently working as a teaching artist for La Jolla Playhouse and San Diego Opera Educational Departments. Shauna holds a degree in vocal performance from UCLA and is presently pursuing a Master’s Degree in Music from SDSU. Shauna is currently working as the Communications Director for the Actor’s Alliance of San Diego.
