Dyslexic Trekkie or Merrie Greenfield giving the international symbol for Party Girl? You decide. Or you can ask her when you go to see her in WNEP’s Invasion of The Minnesota Normals. Miss Greenfield is the LEAD normal. Now that’s acting!

Invasion of the Minnesota Normals

May 11 - June 10, 2006
The Apollo Studio Theater, 2540 N. Lincoln Ave

INVASION OF THE MINNESOTA NORMALS, set in 1953 Chicago, presents Ruth
McKinley, a completely ordinary housewife and her encounter with Robert and Mary Jones, two uninvited guests who just happen to be former test subjects for the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI). Confronted with what the corporate world considers `normal’, Ruth examines her life and discovers it is anything but ordinary.

Based on “The Believer” article of the same name, “Invasion of the
Minnesota Normals” explores how a simple personality test meant to
diagnose the mentally ill is now used as a formula for perfect
corporate hiring.
