Minnesota Fringe Festival 2026: "Too Much of a Good Thing"

Day:
9

Show: 30


Category: Comedy / Drama / Musical Theater / Solo Show

By: RAR Entertainment

Created by: Rachel Redleaf

Location: Open Eye Theatre

Summary: A solo storytelling show by TV and film actor Rachel Redleaf about her relationship with her large breasts and decision to have reduction surgery.

Highlights: Rachel is very funny and honest in this very personal show. With humor, funny voices, cute cartoon video illustrations, and a Wizard of Oz theme, she tells us stories about being obsessed with breasts all her life, even before she had them. It was all she wanted as a child, but it eventually became a "careful what you wish for" kind of thing as her breasts started growing in high school, and didn't stop until she reached a bra size of 40H, through college, breakups, and weight gain. As an actor, and in relationships with men, she began to feel like no one could see her beyond her large breasts. She tells the story in a very cute way, giving a funny voice to each of her breasts, who sometimes talk to her, and imagining characters in her story as characters from the Wizard of Oz (when she finally found the right surgeon who listened to her and what she wanted, she was like Glinda the Good). This is very honest, funny, silly, relatable look at being a woman living under the male gaze, and loving yourself and your body enough to know when to say goodbye to some of it.
