In her brilliant farce, “Dance for a Manatee,” Mara Dresner presents ineptitude for laughs. Fundraisers meet politicians meet dancing detectives, a cast of characters who live in a singular reality both believable and absurd. With great comic bits, rapid-fire repartee, and a plot that twists and turns like a roller coaster, the play delights from beginning to end. A gem of a comedy for actors of multiple ages and races. Audiences will buzz about this play for days. Highest recommendation.

You had me at saving the manatee! The ongoing fast-paced, entertaining banter is certain to endear these lovely characters to the audience as they grab your attention and pull you into the small-town shenanigans that Mara Dresner so hilariously creates. Excellent timing, great roles for "women of a certain age", and a hint of murder - you'll find it all a delight. Serve up the laughter with a side of romaine. And cheese!

In the midst of high stakes fundraising, it's easy for a body to go unnoticed. Entertaining and well done!
