DANCE OF THE SEVEN HEADED MOUSE Ends Its Off-Broadway Run 7/25 At The Beckett

"Dance of the Seven Headed Mouse," a new play by Carole Gaunt, will conclude its limited Off-Broadway engagement this Saturday, July 25th at The Beckett at Theatre Row. "Dance of the Seven Headed Mouse" opened on June 23rd to favorable reviews led by Bloomberg's John Simon who called the play "Genuinely touching." Under the direction of Christopher McElroen, the cast includes Joseph Adams, Laura Bonarrigo, Molly Ephraim, Lauren Currie Lewis, and Maya Simkowitz.

In "Dance of the Seven Headed Mouse," the fault lines are exposed when a seemingly picture-perfect Fifth Avenue family faces the harshest of realities - the death of their daughter. A father turns to work to drown his sorrow, while his wife drifts into a haze of pills and booze. When their surviving child Avril inexplicably drops out of her prestigious New England boarding school, her roommate Juliana arrives for a visit, determined to lure her back. Acting as a catalyst and witness, Juliana exposes the gaping cracks in the family's Upper East Side façade, forcing its three surviving members to engage with one another and the tragedy they share. "Dance of the Seven-Headed Mouse" is a tale of love, loss, and acceptance from Carole Gaunt, award-winning author of the memoir "Hungry Hill."
"Dance of the Seven Headed Mouse" also hosted a highly successful series of post-performance talkbacks throughout its six-week run focusing on the effects of drug and alcohol abuse in grieving families.

Remaining performances are Thursday and Friday at 8pm, and Saturday at 2 p.m. and 8pm. The Beckett at Theatre Row is located at 410 West 42nd Street (between Ninth & Tenth Ave.) Tickets are available through TicketCentral.com 212-279-4200.
