Nytheatre.com checks out Fit

Nytheatre.com asks us about Fit and we spill.

Nytheatre: What does your show sound like?

Erin Austin: Jonathan Cody White has arranged some gorgeous modern takes on traditional Celtic tunes that are performed live by our actors and musicians in Fit. The audience hears this play through the ears of Mary, the show's protagonist. She is a twenty year old American woman in Scotland for the first time. The resulting sound is Celtic, mystical, and foreign tinged with a modern American feel.


NyT: People who like your show would also like which famous movie or tv show?

EA: Fit has the sexy Scottish slums appeal of Trainspotting. It deals with addiction and mental disorders in a similar fashion to Showtime's Nurse Jackie- with humor. And if you like plays that are just a step to the left of realism- where the magical and the musical can happen, you will enjoy Fit.

NyT: Your show is the only one in 2011 FringeNYC that...

EA: is about the power of Celtic Women – raving influences in the hearts and minds of men and future generations.

NyT: Groucho, Chico, Harpo, or Zeppo?

EA: Harpo. Just like that Marx brother with his harp, in Fit we use music to make you laugh. Hopefully we also use music to make you think and keep you entertained.

Have fun with Kickstarter and help us make a play!

It's official. You can now give us money!



Plastic Flamingo Theatre Company is taking Fit a play by Erin Austin, directed by Ross Evans, to the New York International Fringe Festival in August 2011.

Fit is a play about three generations of women, all at the age of twenty. Mary tends to her grieving grandfather, Fiona grapples with motherhood, and Lauren prepares to flee. Celtic music, dresses, and mental disorders pass through all three women. Will this granddaughter, mother, and grandmother, all at the age of twenty, overcome their ghosts and find a good fit? Austin's play celebrates the tradition of Celtic music and the uniquely comical and often mystical culture of Scotland. Also, it explores the deeply rooted psychological emotions tied into a woman's quest for beauty and physical perfection- emotions that defy age, time, and country.

While every member of our cast and crew are working gratis, we still need funds for festival fees, marketing, costumes, lighting and set.
