Brooke Allen's "Walt [REDACTED]'s 'The Tiny Fishwoman'"; or, How to Stop Worrying and Love Your Tail
Above, a ship with humans who think mermaids are fake but cool in theory! Below, a society that fundamentally believes that humans are fish-eating monsters. They have a point. A rebellious teenage girl with a habit of blowing off rehearsals (bitch) takes a break from collecting forks and bullying her nice yellow fish friend to fall head over fins in love with a human she's never met. So, of course, she trades her voice for legs. With the help of a talking crab, a talking seagull, a talking fish, and a dog that doesn't talk because only fish can talk, she tries to find love through elaborate and ineffective pantomime.
She had better hurry: if girlfriend can't enchant her prince within three days, a totally badass sea-witch gets to turn her into a really ugly plant. She'll probably confiscate her thingamabobs, too. She's got twenty.
Join unplaywright Brooke Allen and the [REDACTED] crew for a night of music, floating hair, seashell bras, and one very violent scene about cooking. Oh, and we're doing all the songs. Look at this show! Isn't it neat?
All proceeds benefit The Ruckus' production of THE DEER by Brooke Allen, directed by Eric Hoff.

THE RULES OF REDACTED
1. We rehearse one time. A couple of hours before we perform. We think you will like it better that way.
2. We avoid going to jail by redacting the main character's name in the title.
3. Dan Caffrey is only allowed to have one line. Sometimes he will try to sneak in more lines and Brooke will stop him. Then he calls Brooke a bad word. You know the one.
4. When in doubt, kill a horse.
5. Any actor on stage who is losing their Redacted virginity will have to go through a spanking tunnel during the curtain call.
6. Brooke and Josh always make one another laugh. Whoever lasts longest without laughing gets a prize.
7. If you have a hilarious idea for what the next Redacted show should be, we don't care.
8. Drink up, it's funnier that way.
