Fate, Fury, and Musical Theatre: A Kind of Cabaret

Written by: Liz Wasser
Directed by: Amanda Thompson

A young actress, frustrated with the static state of her life and career, drives from her house on Long Island until she can't drive anymore. At the beach, the Three Fates of ancient mythology, androgynous and fabulous, wash onto the shore like Venus on the foam. Taking her under their collective breast, they lead the girl on a journey of storytelling, self-discovery and showtunes.
