It’s been 84 years… or 26 years, since April 1999, when six-year-old Alice was finally allowed to watch a recorded-from-HBO VHS of the 1997 James Cameron classic, “Titanic”. Since then, Alice has gone through various stages of ‘Titanic-Panic’ ranging from watching it every day to making it a defining part of her personality to editing down her own version that runs at a mere 1 hour and 45 minutes (but with the same emotional gravitas! She swears!) - culminating in this solo re-enactment of the timeless story of Jack and Rose, in which she plays all the parts and the scenes are selected at random. In this one-woman show about how childhood obsessions shape who we are as adults and the ever-persistent battle between nostalgia, the poor aging of '90s media, and claims of boats too big to sink, you'll laugh, you’ll cry, your heart will go on (even though Jack’s does not)! Created and performed by Alice Fishbein, and directed by Ryan Lind.

The show premiered in a shortened version at The PIT’s Solocom 2023. It has continued to have sold-out performances at Brooklyn Comedy Collective (BCC) and Caveat NYC. It was recently performed at Upright Citizens Brigade (UCB) in NYC on March 31, 2025.

It was just announced that the show will be at Gilded Balloon Patter House (Dram) from 30 July - 15 August, 2025 as part of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Tickets can be purchased here through Gilded Balloon or through the official Edinburgh Fringe Festival website.
