\nhers and that of all oddballs.<\/p>\n
Artist bios:<\/p>\n
Terry Galloway (writer\/performer) is a little “d” deaf, queer writer
\nand performer. She gained a reputation for playing comic male roles on
\nstage (and off) as a performer and Research Associate of the University
\nof Texas’ alternative Shakespeare Festival, Shakespeare at Winedale; and
\n at Esther’s Follies, the longest running musical comedy theater in the
\nSouthwest, of which she was a founding member. In New York she wrote and
\n performed mixed drag cabarets and one woman shows for venues as diverse
\n as American Place Theater to W.O.W. Cafe. Her plays and performance
\npieces, including Heart of a Dog, Out All Night and Lost My Shoes, Lardo
\n Weeping and In the House of the Moles, have since been produced around
\nthe world in venues ranging from the Xteresa in Mexico City and the Zap
\nClub in Brighton, England.<\/p>\n
Her writing life has been as varied as her performing life and she has
\npublished dozens of articles, poems, personal essays and monologues in
\nmagazines, books, and journals including Texas Monthly, the Austin
\nChronicle, The American Voice, Cast Out: Queer Lives in Theater,
\nSleepaway: Writers on Summer Camp and With Wings, an anthology of
\nwriting by women with disabilities. Her memoir, Mean Little Deaf Queer,
\nwas published by Beacon Press in 2009.<\/p>\n
Donna Marie Nudd (Director\/Dramaturge) is a Professor in the
\nDepartment of Communication at Florida State University. Her essays have
\n appeared in numerous academic journals and books. She has served as
\ndirector and dramaturge for Terry Galloway’s one-woman shows that were
\nproduced in Edinburgh, London, New York, Toronto, Mexico City and
\nnumerous alternative venues throughout the U.S. In 1987, Donna Marie
\nNudd also co-founded an alternative theatre\/media company, the Mickee
\nFaust Club, with Terry Galloway in Tallahassee, Florida. The Club’s most
\n recent work is a compilation of comic disability-themed video shorts
\ncalled Mickee Faust’s Gimp Parade. In 2000, Nudd and Galloway jointly
\nreceived a lifetime achievement award, the “Leslie Irene Coger Award”
\nfrom the National Communication Association for their distinguished
