SUSAN GAGE: TERM LIMITED

Susan Gage: Term-Limited is a one-woman plus show tracing the transformation of an award-winning public radio reporter from journalist in search of the truth to a massage therapist who finds truth in touch. Susan Gage: Term Limited is written and performed by Susan Gage, with musical accompaniment by Jeff Henry, Eclectic Acoustic, and selective members of the Mickee Faust Club. The show utilizes audio soundbites from Florida Legislators, a parodic video short and projected photos to make it a "theater of real life" event. Shows start at 8 pm, doors open at 7 pm. More details.

LARDO WEEPING

Lardo Weeping is an hour-long performance piece featuring Dinah LaFarge, a large, intellectual, quite sexual woman of independent means who seldom ventures outside her apartment and refuses to answer her door unarmed. Dinah is a costume as well as a person—Lardo Weeping ends with a literal strip tease in which Dinah “deconstructs” her body by taking it off piece by piece. Lardo Weeping was written and performed by Terry Galloway, with direction and dramaturgy by Donna Marie Nudd. Lardo Weeping has been presented in NYC (1992) London (1993), and Mexico City (1994). Shows start at 8 pm, doors open at 7 pm.

ACTUAL LIVES AND THE ADA: WRITING AND PERFORMANCE PROJECT

Mickee Faust Club extends its outreach by conducting a series of “Writing for Performance” workshops with disabled adults. In these workshops, participants will write personal narratives about their lives; one area of focus will be the impact (if any) of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) on their lives. Using a variety of genres, participants will be able to translate their personal narratives into a presentation through video recordings of staged performances, audio/visual presentations that incorporate movement, visual arts, photography, and sound recordings. Participants will also have the opportunity to perform their work. Upon completion of the series, the participants will create a DVD featuring their original work, and present their work at a public forum where they will also field questions and comments from the audience regarding disability issues and the accessibility of the arts in Tallahassee and surrounding rural communities.
