Mickee Faust Presents - The Inaugural Bawl at The Warehouse

A new regime is coming into power in America, and the Mickee Faust Club is spoiling for a fight.

“This means WAR!” squeaks Mickee Faust, the cigar-puffing, rodent leader of Tallahassee’s community theater for the weird and queer community. “There’s room for only one foul-mouthed, temperamentally unstable, cartoonish would-be dictator in this country and it aint gonna be Orange Julius! Yeah, he has the military might of the entire United States behind him. So what? We’ve got –hold your breath—humor and satire on ours!”

Mickee’s first strike in this mortal combat will be the Mickee Faust Club’s Inaugural Bawl on Friday, January 20, 2017, at The Warehouse, 706 West Gaines Street. “Yep,” Faust chortled.
“I’m holding my own Inaugural on the very same night he-who-shall-not-be-named is holding his! That’ll show him!”

The Warehouse doors open at 7pm with foot-stomping music by Eclectic Acoustic. The Mickee Faust Club and their invited guests take over the Warehouse stage at 7:30pm for a night of biting, funny and emotionally charged performance. In addition to the Faustkateers and their repertoire of political medleys, FSU English professor Virgil Suarez will be the honorary poet laureate for the evening. The line-up also features Black on Black Rhyme, Cap Six, Diane K. Roberts, Susan Cerulean, Chuck Hobbs, Petra Doan, Susan Anderson, The Hispanic Grad Students Association, Artangles by Deborah Desilets, and Tallahassee Hispanic Theater. Faust’s in-house band, Rodentia Preharmonium will play post-show for anyone who wants to stick around and dance their hearts out.

This is the fourth time the Mickee Faust Club has hosted a night of performance and music to mark the transition of power in Washington, D.C.

“The first B-A-W-L was in January, 2001, after the U.S. Supreme Court ended the recount in Florida and awarded the presidency to George W. Bush,” explains Donna M. Nudd, the troupe’s executive producer. “Tallahassee had been at the epicenter of all the political wrangling for over a month, and the people in this deeply ‘blue’ city really needed to experience a kick-ass catharsis.”

The flavor of this Bawl will be little different, promises Mickee. “This time we’re going to catharsis ourselves into a coalition of bad-ass, rabble-rousers united in resisting this new regime through Art—the Art of standing up, speaking out and making fun.”

Tickets to the Inaugural Bawl are available through the Mickee Faust Club’s website, www.mickeefaust.com. Please note, The Bawl is at the Warehouse on Gaines, NOT the Mickee Faust Club in RR Square. Don’t just cry in your beer. Laugh. Organize. And party like there’s no tomorrow.
