YOUNG AND GORGEOUS (on-demand)

Created and performed by Adriane Daff (she/her) and Eliza Scott (they/them).

Soap stars, Donna Young and Debbie Gorgeous have been playing teenagers for three decades. You've grown up with them as they've slashed through life's problems with unapologetic anger, despair, joy and excitement... and now you are most cordially invited to the live-taping of the cliffhanger episode of season 30 of 'Young and Gorgeous'.  

Despite the budget cuts: the wigs are fluffed, the vaseline has been slathered onto the lens and the ladies are eagerly awaiting your arrival to set. They can't wait for you, the die-hard fans, to step through this guilty pleasure portal and join Donna and Debbie as they deliver to you the latest trials and tribulations of the most famous soap you've never seen. 

Using live camera and just a little audience interaction (the budget cuts!) Young and Gorgeous relies on your knowledge of the most outrageous soap opera tropes you can imagine and encourages you to unleash them on our live studio set. Because don't we all have a little soap opera within us? And aren't we all... just a little... Young and Gorgeous?
