May 5 and May 12
2014
Fleshy Thud and TTOK present an adaptation of Dr. Seuss’s cult classic musical fantasy film “The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T” in two episodes on Mondays May 5th (part one) and May 12th (part two).
“The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T is screwy, disorderly, polymorphously perverse, and by most standards of movie making it might quite possibly not be good, but I can’t pretend to judge it objectively: it’s a dream I watched and it was awesome.” – Sonya Taaffe
The solo feature film written by Dr. Seuss (Theodor Seuss Geisel) earned a 1953 Academy Award nomination for “Best Scoring of a Musical Picture.” At the Hollywood premiere, patrons walked out after 15 minutes, and box-office receipts were disappointing.
Come see Fleshy Thud and TTOK’s theatrical interpretation of the only film to which Dr. Seuss attached his name, but pointedly omitted from his own biography. Starring Christopher Wilton, Ryan Kerr, Melinda Wall, Andrew Little, Sarah McNeilly, Brad Brackenridge, Em Glasspool and Elizabeth Moody. Directed by Kate Story.
