Daisy and Violet Hilton, a pair of conjoined twins, have lived their lives in the spotlight, excelling from Freak Show oddities to Vaudeville stars. As the sisters struggle to navigate their new path beyond the Freak Show, Daisy and Violet face outside forces and new desires that threaten to tear them apart — figuratively and literally. Based on a true story, Side Show offers us the chance to connect through our differences, finding love and acceptance for everyone — including ourselves.
Special thanks to Kristen DeGrazia, David Lee Painter, Fannie Hungerford, Bones, Levi & Hattie Kalina, Michael Flores, and Kristine Kalina.
