American Midget
The mysterious Mr. Much is determined to convince ordinary Albert that he is a little person - but is he? Join one man’s struggle to distinguish reality from delusion in a world far more outlandish, but only slightly more absurd, than our own.
"American Midget took me along for a ride for sure. I love the sharp comedy, the quirkiness, and how Shadow Horse brings it all to life." One Girl, Two Cities Sat. Feb 14 2015

"American Midget resembles some sort of dadaist mashup of Better Off Dead and Something Wicked This Way Comes; a nihilist production at its core....The set consists of hanging collages of midget/circus photography and little else, to evoke Albert’s state of mind. Ilana Kapra‘s well-made costumes colorfully evoke the circus-like atmosphere. And the entire ensemble locks into this dark vision and delivers their performances with zeal." l'etoile magazine Sat Feb 14 2015

"A cheerfully absurdist satire...This little psychological gem is both pessimistic and spirit-affirming." - New York Times
"Yukich's labyrinthian language is joyous." - LA Weekly

"Yukich's script is darkly comic, and very enjoyable." - Broadwayworld.com
"American Midget delivers in a giant way. It is very seldom that a show will keep you guessing until the very end. American Midget is that rare experience.." - LA Splash Magazine
