Kyla Garcia's THE MERMAID WHO LEARNED HOW TO FLY Swims to NYC for United Solo Tonight

Kyla Garcia is the epitome of the experienced actor. She has performed off-Broadway, at the Globe in London, locally at Boston Court and the Lewis Family Playhouse, in several indie films, digital works, and most recently as 'Mrs. Zeller' in Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Last summer, she took on a whole new (and deeply personal) challenge by debuting her solo show THE MERMAID WHO LEARNED HOW TO FLY at the Elephant at the 2014 Hollywood Fringe Festival.

THE MERMAID WHO LEARNED HOW TO FLY went on to win the Encore Producer's Award and the Pick of the Fringe Award. It was nominated for org*smico Theatre Company's Most org*smic Performance and also received a nomination for a Freak Award in the category of Best in Solo Performance at the Hollywood Fringe Award Ceremony.

Since her success at the Hollywood Fringe Festival, Garcia has performed in the prestigious Los Angeles Women's Theatre Festival and making its NYC debut at United Solo, the largest solo festival in the world, in November 2015.

'MERMAID' focuses on Victoria. From the moment Victoria could speak, she began telling stories. She weaved whimsical worlds of magic and fairy tales that traveled from her imagination to the page with ease. A lifelong dream of writing guided a clear path that no relationship could ever distract her from...until she meets the enigmatic Luna while still with her first love, Michael. Victoria is forced to decide which love is most important: the love for her high school sweetheart, the love for her soul mate, or the love of her dreams.

THE MERMAID WHO LEARNED HOW TO FLY is a fantastical piece inspired by true events in Garcia's life. It's a one­ woman journey into the depths of forgetting who we are and the heights of remembering. Garcia demonstrates a plethora of characters and invites you to dive in and swim along the journey.
