One of the Guild’s many member benefits is the opportunity to present a reading of a play or musical in a space provided by the Guild on a certain date and time. The Friday Night Footlights series allows members to do just that, free of charge. With scattered dates from September through May, each series showcases the work of several writers per night.
THE AVERAGE-SIZED MERMAID by Jessica Fleitman
An outrageous parable that turns the genre of romantic comedy inside out to explore modern feminism. In the classic fairytale, a mermaid gave up her fins to follow a prince, only to lose him to another woman. When Miriam, an elementary school teacher, watches her professor fiancé run off with a student, she swears off men entirely by magically transforming her legs into a mermaid tail so no man can get into her heart. But what she doesn’t see coming is that this act will spark a national feminist movement, with Miriam as the figurehead. Toss an unconventional prince charming into the mix, and Miriam may be in over her head.
Featuring: Seth Andrew Bridges, Leslie Boles, Michelle Concha, Starr Kirkland and Joe Sevier
Dramaturgy: Rebecca Jones, Pip Ngo
Stage Management: Jessica Suter
