A little response to the FringeNYC production:
“An affecting piece.” – The Village Voice
“These guys aren’t using the Fringe to launch improbable projects or careers; they’re workshopping a solid Off Broadway project-in-progress. The “tiny feats” of the title are the small victories that keep the perpetually scared Bernfield—phobic of heights, planes, people—not just among the “functioning fearful” but solidly in with the “pathetically high-functioning.” With help from a very capable backup band, she makes each fear pull its weight, emotionally and comically.”
-- Time Out New York
“Susan Bernfield's latest is exactly what it claims to be: a tiny feat, for Bernfield is captivating throughout. The end result comes across like a Sondheim chamber musical. It's a very winning performance, and a very winning play." – New Theatre Corps
"TINY FEATS is really terrific theatre. Bernfield has a sharp ear for the telling detail and the clear-eyed honesty to turn those powers of observation on herself. [Her] internal struggle is both funny and touching." -- nytheatre.com
