Also in July 2011 I was cast in "The Average-Sized Mermaid" as Nettie De'Leau which will premiere in the 15th Annual NY International Fringe Festival. I've been wanting to participate in the Fringe festival for a few years now. It takes place during the summer which traditionally is a slow down period for the entertainment industry. And because it is theater, it is a great opportunity to hone your craft in an actual role. Not just a scene or two in class. In the past I've auditioned for a few roles in the festival but never booked. Well this year I got called back for a role in another show but ultimately booked the role of Nettie! This role was a much better fit for me and I'm so glad that I got to work on this project.
"The Average-Sized Mermaid" is a comedic, contemporary take on the children's book "The Little Mermaid." Think "Splash" but much more funny. My character, Nettie, is a fashion designer and best friends with the lead character Miriam Moselle. When Miriam finds herself transformed into a mermaid, her close friends rally to find a way to undo "the tail" and all kinds of hijinks ensue.
