\u201c\u2026incredibly moving, funny, tender, and tragic all at the same time, [providing] important perspective of what it is like to grow up with a disability to those who are privileged to have no chronic illness while reaffirming for the hearing-impaired in the audience who related to the performance on an entirely different level.\u201d \u2013 Craig Hurwitz, MD, Associate Professor of Pediatrics, Dell Medical School, Dell Children\u2019s Medical Center, Division of Pediatric Pain and Palliative Care<\/p>\n

\u201cTerry investigates the controversy among the deaf community about whether deafness should be \u2018the way of life\u2019 for the deaf, or if it needs to be \u2018fixed\u2019 or \u2018cured.\u2019 \u201d \u2013 Dr. Kirsten Kern, PhD, LMT<\/p>\n

\u201cAs someone with hearing loss, this show was an incredible experience for me, and I think everyone should get a chance to see it.\u201d \u2013 Sarah Appell
\n\u201cIt\u2019s a pitch perfect event that strikes so many resonant chords. \u2018You Are My Sunshine\u2019 produces moments of profound reflection, thoughtful tears and unadulterated belly laughter in the same performance. In addition, it\u2019s chock full of large doses of data and insight to the world of the hearing impaired person who is trying to find their place amongst disparate communities and those challenges.\u201d \u2013 Don Brode, MD<\/p>\n

Bio<\/p>\n

Terry Galloway is a German-born\/Texas-raised, deaf, lesbian artist and activist. As a globe-trotting, grunt-work performance artist, she\u2019s performed all four of her one-woman shows, directed by her wife Donna Marie Nudd, in a variety of venues from the American Place Theater in New York to the Zap Club in Brighton, England. When she lived in Austin, Terry was known for her cross-dressing performances at Shakespeare at Winedale and at Esther\u2019s Follies, where she was a founding member. She also co-founded Actual Lives Austin and Actual Lives Tallahassee, the writing and performance workshops for adults with disabilities. In Tallahassee, Florida she\u2019s best known as Mickee Faust, the cigar-puffing, beer-swilling evil rat (twin to a certain unctuous rodent in Orlando) who heads up the Mickee Faust Club, a theater, radio and video performance company that bills itself as \u201ccommunity theater for the weird community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Over her 39-year career as an alternative artist working on the theatrical fringes, she has won grants, fellowships and awards in theater, literature, radio and video from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Texas Institute of Letters, Pew Charitable Trust, Columbia University, Austin\u2019s Circle of Theatre\u2019s, NYC\u2019s Villager, the Kennedy Center, the Florida Division of Cultural Affairs, Public Radio News Directors Incorporated and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Her articles, monologues, poems and performance texts appear in numerous anthologies about queerness, disability, theater and Elvis. Her memoir, Mean Little deaf Queer published by Beacon Press, was a Lambda Award finalist and winner of the Golden Crown Award.<\/p>\n
