American Midget

Director Ben Kusler describes the new play American Midget this way: "The play centers on a typical, full-sized man who, after a series of significant events in his life, is visited by a mysterious agent who conspicuously refers to him as a ‘midget.’ As the play progresses, the man, Albert, starts to believe that he truly is a midget. Biting and heightened, the piece is a fast-paced ride full of outlandish characters, primarily centering on one man’s sweetly naïve journey through Americana and his struggle to distinguish reality from delusion in a world far more outlandish, but only slightly more absurd, than our own."
