FIX NUMBER SIX Opens Tonight at Planet Connections Festivity

The world premiere of Fix Number Six, a comedy by Jerry Polner, directed by Michael Criscuolo and featuring actors praised by the New York Times, Backstage, TimeoutNY, and nytheatre.com. Fix Number Six tells of Jane, a travel agent whose career is going nowhere. Hounded by an idiot boss, she dreams of pursuing her true calling as an international spy. When her rich, lovesick customer wants to hire Jane to "fix" his life with whatever tawdry subterfuge is necessary, she jumps at the chance.
