The Mickee Faust Club presents…
TERRY GALLOWAY’S “IN THE HOUSE OF THE MOLES”

Why is it that it’s always the ugly, queer, trouble-making thinker who gets it in the end? That’s the essential question posed in Terry Galloway’s original play, “In the House of the Moles”. This tragedy in burlesque opens Thursday, November 4th with additional shows Nov. 5-7 and November 11-14 at the Mickee Faust Clubhouse in Railroad Square. Members of the media are welcome to attend the final dress rehearsal, Wednesday November 3rd. All shows start 8PM.

There will also be an opportunity to be part of the live audience during the videotaping of the show Sunday, November 21 and Monday, November 22.

“I’ve loved working on this production,” says Galloway. “It’s funny and profane. Not profound. Profane!”

Galloway and FSU Communications Professor Donna Marie Nudd have directed this show, and allowed for a give-and-take with the actors to create the final script for this performance. The play has also been read and workshopped at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles and American Place Theater in New York City.

“If I were to describe this play, I’d say its sort-of like “Little Women” with beer, dope and violence,” says Galloway.

The play proper focuses on a family of four sisters and their late mother’s live-in male friend. To honor their mother’s memory, the sisters agree to perform their mom’s life work—her play—one last time. Within this drama comes another morality play creating a play-within-the-play-within-the-play, and a show that both entertains and provokes.

“There’s certainly a “Little Women” gone awry at the start,” says Dr. Nudd, “But there are also elements of vaudeville and “Punch and Judy” in the other parts, and the basic plot elements are lifted from Hamlet, a testament to Terry’s love of Shakespeare and her performance background.”

Tickets are $10 general admission/ $5 seniors and students with ID. Tickets for the shows can be purchased at the door the night of the performances. There are some tickets set aside for reservation each night, so please call 309-5353.
