Mad King ThomasPremium White Morsels Directed by Molly Van Avery  "... If you're looking for something a little theatrical, a little wacked out, and a little bit socially satirical, try [Mad King Thomas]." —John Munger, MN Fringe Blog Explore fairy princesses, rebellion, Girls Gone Wild, Victorian etiquette and Janet Reno in Premium White Morsels, a ferocious new performance piece about being white, taking offense, being offensive, and performing gender roles in today's hyper-politicized society. Cut through expectations based on years of history and mythology in this comedic, tender, and incisive examination of race, class, gender and privilege. In Premium White Morsels, local performance trio Mad King Thomas explores the unspoken notions of femininity and whiteness in America today. Premium White Morsels is part of the Naked Stages 2007 performance series, presented by Intermedia Arts. Mad King Thomas creates dances that mix choreography, theater, prop handling, pop music, dress-up, and humor. Their ability to tackle culturally relevant material in entertaining, irreverent and surreal ways makes a singular brand of social commentary. "Wildly funny and sometimes poignant." —Lightsey Darst, mnartists.org "Smart, and cheeky to the extreme... featur[ing] fun choreography, lots of subtle humor and great music." —Carolyn Petrie, St. Paul Pioneer Press  Mad King Thomas Mad King Thomas is the collaboration of Tara King, Theresa Madaus and Monica Thomas.
