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. Performance dates and times: December 7, 13, 14, 16, 19, 20, and 21 at 7:30 pm. December 8, 15, and 22 at 3 pm. December 16 is a Pay As Able performance. 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.) The cast: Zetta - Ariel Leaf Dog - Joe Wiener Vera Similitude - Delinda "Oogie" Pushetonequa Jo-Jo the Bald-Faced Liar - Nissa Nordland Morgan Coke -Timothy Daly Bud - Michael Terrell Brown The creative team: Director - Ben Layne Music director - Nicole Wilder Stage manager - Sarah Perron Fight choreographer - Meredith Kind Set and properties designers - Ursula K.
