Booth McGowan's IGUANA BECOMES MARCO to be Presented at Quick and Dirty Theatre Company

Quick and Dirty Theatre Company will present "The Iguana Becomes Marco" by Booth McGowan. An unsettling story about the animals we let become us.

This new one-act play charts the mental and physical descent of a recent college graduate Marco (Marco Quesada) after an encounter with an Iguana (Luke Wisniewski) on a friends-trip to his Uncle Bill and Aunt Annie's house in Tallahassee, Florida.

Will the dour Chief of Police (Bobby Cole) crack the elusive case of the Iguana, or will his obliging assistant Maximilian (Booth McGowan) ruin the whole shebang? Only a ticket will tell...

At once a thrilling horror-comedy, as well as an abstraction of addiction, sexuality, gender, and youth, "The Iguana Becomes Marco" will take you for a ride through the pores of your salience circuit and into a brand new side of human perception. Besmirched by former imaginary friend Jimmy Bob Bo-Thumper as the "master of contemporary derangement," Booth McGowan is ready to see you at the show
