| Synopsis: | The Funeralogues is a darkly comedic look at the inside of funeral homes, funeral rituals, and one woman's personal obsession with death. The evening uses actual text from real-life eulogies including a tribute to soldiers lost in Afghanistan as remembered by a member of The Casualty Assistance Calling Operations, a eulogy for the performers' own grandfather, a fireman's eulogy read by a Minnesota school teacher, a eulogy delivered by Martin Luther King, Jr. for three child victims of a Birmingham church bombing, and even a humorous eulogy that a six year old imparts for her headless Barbie. - press release | |||||
