Please, Repeat After Me

I have millions of reasons to be crazy; give me one reason to be sane! Or Please, Repeat After Me is a play about decisionmaking and labels. (We)* are left abandoned in the theater with a real mermaid; inedible fish and a woman who is much more than a sex object. But the mermaid is real! When does a stereotype stop being a stereotype? When does a refugee stop being a refugee? When does an actor stop being an actor?
