Average-Sized Mermaid Garners Large-Sized Laughs

The NYC Fringe festival is in full swing, and although I won't have time to see all 100+ productions, I can say that of the ones I've seen so far, Jessica Fleitman's The Average-Sized Mermaid stands apart. This feminist deconstruction of The Little Mermaid stars Dawn McGee, whose opening monologue alone is worth the price of admission. Ms. McGee anchors a stellar comic cast in this modern retelling of a childhood fable.
There are three more chances to see the show (August 25 @ 6:00, August 26 @ 9:15, and August 27 @ 1:00)! Get your tickets today before they swim away! (Playing at the Connelly Theater on East 4th Street.)
