Mickee Faust: Too Faust To Die

Come rub elbows (no handshakes, hugging or air kissing) with members of The Mickee Faust Club when they present their Spring Cabaret Faust: Too Sick To Die. Two years after they closed their doors against the virus, the  35-year old Mickee Faust Club is back and up to its old tricks— 90-minutes of comic skits, musical parodies, riveting confessionals and some really bad jokes. “Yeah,” says Mickee Faust, the plastic-cigar puffing giant rodent who heads up Faust, “I’ll admit we didn’t see the corona virus, coming. But now that it’s on its way out,” Mickee growls, chomping his cigar to a plastic nub, “We’re gonna carry on as usual making you laugh yourself sick. That’s  a bit rich coming a species known to spread the plague, but heigh ho! “  As a special treat Godby High School students will join Faust virtually to share their harrowing and hilarious COVID moments.  Shows start at 8 PM Thursday through Saturday March 17-19 and Thursday through Saturday March 24-26. Tickets cost a mere 20 bucks for general admission, 15 bucks for people with disabilities or those on a fixed income. Thursday is pauper night, with 5 bucks off regular ticket prices for everyone.  All shows take place at the Mickee Faust Clubhouse at 609 Railroad Square deep in the heart of Tallahassee’s funky Railroad Square Art Park. Come masked and vaxxed so we can all relax.  Socially distanced seating. The shows are captioned and the Clubhouse is wheelchair accessible. Everyone’s favorite bluegrass band, Eclectic Acoustic starts playing at 7PM . Grab some food from one of the restaurants around the Square and make it a picnic!

Foremost involved in these ongoing creative collaborations are gays, lesbians, and people with disabilities. Professionals and novices in Faust work side-by-side to create original cabarets, theatre, radio and video. Together the members of the Mickee Faust Club promote the presence of their alternative creative voice, locally, nationally and internationally. The Mickee Faust Club was cofounded in 1987 by Terry Galloway and Donna Marie Nudd.
