The Mammals Theatre Company presents PUT MY ______ IN YOUR ______ aka Your 15 Minutes of Finger

The Mammals Theatre Company presents

PUT MY ______ IN YOUR ______ aka Your 15 Minutes of Finger

written and directed by Bob Fisher

Alice in Wonderland meets Andy Warhol's Silver Factory - What happens when two sisters enter a weird world where pop art mutant thugs rumble and shaman-celebrity darlings deal in high powered hallucinogens in hopes to garner power, fame and unconditional love?

PUT MY ______ IN YOUR ______ aka Your 15 Minutes of Finger is a tale of two sisters dealing with the loss of their mother. One sister wants to live life to the fullest while the other sister wishes to shelter and preserve everything precious to her no matter the cost.


PUT MY ______ IN YOUR ______ aka Your 15 Minutes of Finger is also a Pop Art Fairy Tale mash up where a bizarre Warhol-like provocateur attempts to seduce and entrap beautiful youths using addictive hallucinogens that he secrets from mutated glands.

Originally workshopped in the spring of 2009 with the Right Brain Project, PUT MY ______ IN YOUR ______ aka Your 15 Minutes of Finger is an incredibly unique play, wild, bizarre, but still touching and sweet.

So far...so good! Seven Snakes is Highly Recommended twice!!

From the Chicago Reader, Highly Recommended review -

"full-throttle performances, live electric guitar music in the style of Ennio Morricone's Spaghetti Western soundtracks, and atmospheric visual and sound design mark this inventive, low-budget production as the work of artists with a distinctive, compelling, and decidedly freaky vision." click here to go to the review.

And from the New City, Recommended review -

"One wonders why he cast the eminently enjoyable and obviously male Hall in the strongest female role; drag doesn’t add to the character or story. But Orr brings enough pluck to stare down any testosterone imbalance. Kahler’s pomp spins out into fun menace. Adam Dodds, Vincent Lacey, Shane Michael Murphy and Sean Ewert are deliciously decrepit as the inhabitants of John Ross Wilson’s ghostly VA..." click here to go to the review.
