Information at Mad Cow Theatre

Jenny will appear in Gone Missing a regional theatre premiere opening on September 12th at Mad Cow Theatre. Previews are September 10 and 11 (Tickets are $10) and industry nghts are Monday September 22 and October 6 (Tickets are $15)

Gone Missing is a wry and whimsical documentary musical about things that go missing -- keys, personal identification, a Gucci pump...or one's mind. The show is a collection of very personal accounts of things lost and found, creating a unique tapestry of the ways in which we deal with and relate to loss in our lives.

The Civilians’ Gone Missing is a wildly funny and marvelously inventive meditation on things “gone missing”, combining elements of performance art, documentary theater, and musicals. A flexible company of six performs more than thirty characters, intertwining their stories of lost objects with tales from some unusual "finders," ranging from a retired NYPD cop to a pet psychic.

It features music and lyrics by up-and-coming composer Michael Friedman incorporating salsa, ballads, operetta and pop. One of the biggest hits of the 2007-2008 Off-Broadway season, Mad Cow Theatre is pleased to present the regional debut of this unique piece in signature storytelling cabaret style about the little things in life seen largely.

Here's a write up on a ticket deal with thoughts on the show from Betsey Maupin from the Orlando Sentinel.

Here's a good chance to get a deal on tickets for a show I loved: Elliot, a Soldier's Fugue, at Mad Cow Theatre.

Mad Cow Theatre's Salon Series Focuses on Family

Sunday, August 10, 2008 at 7:00pm

Elliot, A Soldier's Fugue and Major Barbara both ask their audiences to observe how families behave. Each family in these powerful stories are forced to make decisions... about life, about love, and about their own survival. 

Come join us at Mad Cow Theatre on Sunday, August 10th at 7:00pm as Artistic Director Alan Bruun opens the salon doors for a final visit this season as he hosts an evening that is part performance, part debate, and part party as we open the floor to discuss one of the most pivotal topics that impacts everyone... Family.

Single tickets for the Salons are just $5, or it is $3 for Subscribers. Tickets are available on line.

If you already have tickets to see one of the matinee's on Sunday then plan to have dinner downtown at one of the many downtown dining options and then join us back at the theatre where special treats will be sponsored by the Friends of Mad Cow volunteer organization.

Elliot, A Soldier's Fugue is now playing

at Mad Cow Theatre for a limited time.

Pulitzer Prize nominee Quiara Alegria Hudes' play Elliot, A Soldier's Fugue is winning raves at Mad Cow Theatre in it's Central Florida premiere.

“The images of music and metaphors may paint a pretty picture in your mind. But the marriage of music and metaphor to the gritty subject of war creates a more provocative flavor in Elliot, a Soldier’s Fugue” … The Orlando Sentinel 

“Every motion is razor sharp....” … Ink 19

“Hudes tells the stories of three men and a woman who go to war, and she weaves those stories in and out of one another until they become one… In the hands of (Patrick) Braillard and his actors, they’re each right for their particular era, and you remember each for his singularities: (Dave) Heuvel’s youthful innocence; (Benjamin) Rush’s dark, haunted eyes; (Michael) Kutner’s bravado and his grin. (Jenny) Weaver, too, makes an impression with a no-nonsense daytime manner that morphs into sensuality at night.” ... The Orlando Sentinel
