Terry Galloway is a deaf, lesbian writer and performer who writes and performs. Her theater work has been produced in venues ranging from the American Place Theater in NY to the Zap Club in Brighton England; her short videos have been featured in film festivals all over the world; and her poems, essays and flights of fanciful non fiction have been widely anthologized; and two of the three theaters she co-founded over the course of her career are still going strong. She and Donna Marie Nudd , her wife and co-conspirator, co-founded the Mickee Faust Club, a community theater for the weird, queer and crip community in Tallahassee ,Florida. The name Mickee Faust pay tongue-in-cheek homage to both an unctuous rodent in Orlando and a good German doctor whose struggles with the devil mirror the group's own. In 2012, after receiving a cochlear implant, Galloway heard her mother's voice for the first time since she was nine. Edna , her mother, had a deep blues singing voice that inspired in Galloway a newly unearthed love of music-- especially country western, jazz and opera. Much to her delight, her solo performance piece Lardo Weeping was adapted into a chamber opera by the Austin, Texas opera company LOLA. Lardo composter Peter Stopschinski is working with Galloway and her co-writer and fellow Faustkateer, Stacey Abbott on their musical , The Cursed House of Ravensmadd, set to debut at Faust in October 2022.
