Dominique is a mermaid who is on track to rule the kingdom in the swamplands of Louisiana, but her strong sense of wanderlust and possibilities makes her want to travel and see the world. Through her deeply moving and meaningful interactions with humans, Dominique is faced with decisions about her future, her love, and her life. Underscored with bluesy New Orleans style music, Dominique of the Marsh is an unparalleled theatrical experience.
Written by local playwright, Katreeva Phillips, and produced by Theatre of North Texas in two parts – a workshop closing out the TNT festival and a mainstage production.
