About the Project
MAGGIE
Written, Directed, and Performed by
Mandy Keen
A coming-of-bug tale about a trash-dwelling fly molting her way toward love, purpose, and human connection.
From the depths of a landfill, a fly trudges her way out of the garbage and into the big city in this absurd, messy, and strangely heartfelt solo show.
Packed with physical comedy and audience interaction, Maggie follows a tenacious misfit undergoing a strange metamorphosis as she searches for true love, self-worth, and a place in the world while navigating the confusing rituals of humanity.
It’s weird. It’s raw. It’s unexpectedly emotional. There’s no fourth wall.
Maggie premiered to acclaim at The Commodore in Tampa last spring with audiences calling it:
“inventive, funny, and poignant”
“hilarious, weird, touching”
“incredible”
“adventurous”
“10/10 comedy”
