OUT ALL NIGHT AND LOST MY SHOES
a command performance of Terry Galloway's
most popular one-woman show
|
THE SCOOP What is the proper etiquette of suicide? Is S & M ventriloquism an effective therapy for schizophrenics? Should drag be considered an act of self-defense? Will true love find a happy ending at the Lion's Camp for Crippled Children? And what's so natural about the Museum of Natural History? Not quite blind as a bat, but definitely deaf as a doornail, Terry Galloway is the modern medical accident whoís asking these and other tough questionS in OUT ALL NIGHT AND LOST MY SHOES. It's one hour of pure, energetic theater that mixes poetry, storytelling, stand-up, New Vaudeville and plain old corny vaudeville in a charged, moving celebration of life – hers and that of all oddballs.

Reservations are highly recommended. SOME PEOPLE GET IT, SOME PEOPLE DON'T: "She's deaf. She's queer. She's a woman. And from the minute she
begins the audience ís safe, dark anonymity is threatened." "Deaf, queer and a woman. . .her presence was unsettled and unsettling.
" "A hoot and a provocateur from the get-go, Galloway blends physical
humor, wry intelligence and a heartfelt mortification at human suffering.
" "Side splittingly funny and shocking, she never failed to connect." "She didn't move me." "She drew us into a bond that proved unbreakable" "She ís deaf. So what's the big deal?" ". . .and she made fun of handicapped people." ". . .making wild sport of her own disabilities in defense of the defenseless, her main theme, eloquently pursued, is the use of art in hanging tough against life's adversities." "Tough humor in the face of frightening subjects. . . bizarrely
funny." "Fiercely intelligent and brimful of ideas for shaking an audience
out of its gosh-arenít-we-enlightened complacency and onto that
uncomfortable narrow ledge where weíre not sure whether we should
be laughing or crying. A remarkable performance by a remarkable woman.
" "Not for all audiences." "As the lady says when we laughed: sometimes it's too damn late
to do anything else.Great stuff!" Click here to find out more about Terry and |
