It's been 84 years… or 26, since April 1999, when six-year-old Alice was finally allowed to watch James Cameron's classic, Titanic, on VHS. Presenting a one-woman parody re-enactment of Titanic in which Alice plays all the parts and the scenes are selected at random (but with the same emotional gravitas, she swears). In this show about how childhood obsessions shape who we are as adults, nostalgia for aging '90s media, and claims of boats too big to sink, you'll laugh, you'll cry, your heart will go on (even though Jack's does not!).
Created and performed by Alice Fishbein, and directed by Ryan Lind.
