Michael Noth Leads DANCE OF THE SEVEN HEADED MOUSE Talk-back 7/7 At The Beckett

Michael Noth, Clinical Program Director at Freedom Institute, is set to lead a post-performance audience discussion at the the new hit Off-Broadway play Dance of the Seven Headed Mouse this Tuesday, July 7th. This special talkback will immediately follow the 7 p.m. performance at The Beckett at Theatre Row, 410 West 42nd Street.

Freedom Institute, located in New York City, was founded in 1976 as a resource center for individuals and families affected by alcohol and drug dependency. Michael Noth joined them as a full-time staff member in 2007, after serving as Clinical Director at Cornerstone of Medical Arts Center Hospital. Over the past decade, Michael has specialized in a variety of treatment modalities at Freedom Institute.

Dance of the Seven Headed Mouse, by Carole Gaunt, opened officially on June 23rd to excellent reviews led by Bloomberg's John Simon who called the play "Genuinely touching." The limited engagement is set through July 25th. 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.

Performances are Tuesday at 7pm, Wednesday through Saturday at 8pm, with matinees Saturday and Sunday at 2pm. 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.
