Brevity can be its own reward. Billie Jo Konze and Ilana Kapra play a pair of twins separated at birth who find themselves imprisoned together and forced to make cute little sweaters for dogs. As their frosty relationship thaws, the two plan and execute an escape. It's a thin concept that mainly supports the duo's frenzied clowning. There are some inspired moments and others that are madcap without being funny. In the end, the pair (along with foley artist Benjamin Domask) keep it short (under 40 minutes) and it doesn't overstay its welcome. (4 p.m. Sat., 10 p.m. Sun, 10 p.m. Fri., 5:30 p.m. Aug. 13, Ritz Theater Studio, 345 13th Av. NE., Mpls.)
