WHAT WE'RE DOING
Fortune's Fool has been awarded a grant from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council to produce DOG ACT, a post-apocalyptic vaudeville by Liz Duffy Adams. This Midwest premiere will be performed December 7-22 at Gremlin Theatre. In this tale, an unnamed disaster has totally fucked America's society, political structure, and environment. Zetta and Dog are vaudevillians traversing the wasteland, singing and dancing their way to a gig with the King of China. (Dog is a human undergoing a voluntary species demotion, or perhaps promotion—depending on how you feel about dogs and humans.) Danger lurks in the form of scatological and possibly cannibalistic scavengers, as well as other less obvious sources. Will the two-person troupe survive? (NOTE: The scatological and possibly cannibalistic scavengers are very, very scatological.)
