I am currently performing as an "ARTIST IN THE HOUSE" series, in Brüka Theatre's Spring musical comedy satire sketch show, “Six Women with Brain Death or Expiring Minds Want to Know!” (yep, that’s the real title, folks!) and it is a remarkable show! Running for 6 weeks from April 12 through May 18 (Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00, with one Wednesday show, May 8 at 8:00) Insane, funny     satirical, brash, brazen            sassy, crass, and delightful!!     ... and NOT meant for kids! (adult themes, profanity, stuff like that!) We six women tear it up! (and most will be singing with me in my second concert too!)   Get your tickets now as our shows are selling out! Tickets for these performances are $18 Seniors/Students, $20 General, and $25 at the Door.   BUY TICKETS HERE! FOR MORE INFO, CALL 775.323.3221 OR BOXOFFICEBRÜKA@GMAIL.COM All performances will be held at Brüka Theatre 99 N. Virginia Street, Reno, NV   89501. Welcome to "the world of expiring minds - a snappy little revue about the collapse of culture, the demise of language and meaning, and the anxiety of lives cut loose from their moorings and set adrift on a sea of medical wastes."  "Six Women with Brain Death" is a twisted look at feminine issues via a compilation of musical sketches created from tabloid headlines, soap operas, junk food, like: “Overweight Prom Queen Candidate Loses Crown!” “Housewife Keeps Severed Head On Cake Plate!” “Bambi Goes Haywire in Forest With Uzi!” To the expiring mind of a modern American woman, life can read like a tabloid headline.  What is the show about? Uhhhh -  try this review from 'Talkin' Broadway'... "It's sketch comedy so schizophrenic it should wear five straitjackets. It's The Threepenny Opera having its period. It's "Jacques Brel is Dead and In Terrible Shape and Living Underground". It's the theatrical equivalent of genetic mutation. It's brilliant. It's bewildering. It's ghastly. It's glorious. It's a floor wax. And a dessert topping....  A description of anything that happens - assuming anything does happen, which is somewhat in doubt - would be of no earthly use to anyone with a fully functioning brain. The show is best experienced in writing as it is in the theater, as a series of disconnected images: A woman singing a duet with a cherished soap star about the benefits (or perils) of flying Lufthansa; a pastoral forest scene interrupted by a machine gun-toting deer named Rambi; a high school reunion held somewhere between Fifth Avenue and the Fifth Circle of Hell; a blonde's head singing a country spiritual while on a silver tray; a Barbie and Ken wedding complete with plastic copulation; and a convention of literal tinfoil hat wearers proclaiming God to be an alien.” From "GuidetoMusicalTheatre.com":  This wild and womanly 'right-on' look at our contemporary culture has already become a cult classic in the USA. Tackling a large range of subjects from "genuine press-on nails" to Barbi and Ken with detours through a forest where Bambi meets Rambo and severed heads from aging prom queens have a chatty after-life decapitation, Six Women With Brain Death is a hard-rockin', harder-talkin' (the language is appropriate to the "grown-up" material and we disclaim all responsibility) six-woman roller-coaster ride through the end of the millennium, but the scattered firing finds its targets with uncanny accuracy! Songs include "David, Don't Fly Lufthansa", "Prom Queen" and "Rambi". I am thrilled and excited to call Bruka "home" for a few months. I LOVE this awesome, ground-breaking theater, and I love the people who work and create and thrive there. I'm having a blast!! Thank you, Mary Bennett!
