Introducing “The Laboratory.”
It’s been a while since MouseMuse has introduced new programming. Yeah, like three months. That’s a record for stasis with us.
We keep learning new tricks and new ways to bring audience interaction and everyman communication into Spoken Word entertainment. On October 8, 2015 we bring a cabaret show of one of our Mouse followers, Joshua Downs, to the West End. We are co-supported by thegoodmenproject.com for whom we produce shows every other month. Joshua is a formidable talent who will tell his story in song, interspersed with the truly narrative voice of a master. Keyboards, voice and a narrative. In January, 2016, we are producing a short play by Vanessa David, “ConnectCouples.com.” About 53 voices from internet posting done by two actors at 323 Main in Westport. Event listings will follow. Look for “The Laboratory” announcements on Facebook. We are open to all suggestions for shows that fit in 90 minutes.
The goodmen project, www.goodmenproject.com has selected mousemuse to launch, produce and direct its very first LIVE event on JUNE 4, 2015 at 6PM. We start in New York at The West End which welcomed the show as they welcomed our own shows. It is a wonderful venue that has just undergone a renovation..
The website is a an extremely intelligent winner in content , focusing on today’s shifting values and information for what it means to be a good man in today’s society?
It is the conversation “no one else is having,” according to publisher, Lisa Hickey, and the esteemed editors who will be telling the LIVE stories of how they found their voice within that complex conversation. Women also edit and contribute to the website which has 3 million viewers and 300, 000 LIKES a day. The content is categorized by topics such as Family & Relationships, Advice & Confessions, Sports, etcetera. We are very proud that Mousemuse has a been given this opportunity. The website’s reach is enormous and a boon to our mission to bring STORY and authentic face-to-face entertainment as well as digital excellence to a large audience.
With a teeny bit of a departure from classic storytelling we have moved forward to our MouseMuse Live Magazine format. October 12th, We will be featuring a new storyteller, Edward Gibson, who came to one of our shows and got hooked on being up there. A stage addict so fast?
He brings with him a a lively out-of-state audience and a share of humor I value. And then, if all goes as has been planned, we will be joined by a singer/songwriter who approached us on FB MouseMuse FB, and he became a follower. While he confesses to having written his confessional “What Went Wrong” love song in his twenties, he has promised me (we’ve never met!) that if he ventures from his home in New Jersey, he will give the torment of love lyrics an Elvis Costello mellow. Lindsley, the singer/songwriter has serious eldercare health responsibilities so he is trying to keep a promise to us and to his family. Lindsley Seaman we hope to see you.
I will be sitting myself down on a chair and beginning a monologue of “What Went Wrong?” No title yet, but it did go wrong fast.
For me the hints of wrong were happening for years, I mean for heaven’s sakes, I treated my sister to an escorted trip to Napa and then a gorgeous drive all the way down to L.A… and when we boarded the plane in NYC she wanted Continental Airlines to replace her seat with a newer seat, not another assigned seat which many people, including myself were willing to exchange with her, but one with better springs because….because… and she held fast to that demand. The flight was delayed due to the Princess and the Pea and a new seat carried onboard and engineered into place.
Join us on September 23rd for food, drink, and tales of the little streets, big lobsters, and bigger houses that are so well known to us. This is the debut of our new series, “This Suburban Life”. The theme of our inaugural show, focusing on the Westport area, is “Where main street meets wall street.”
What a lineup of stars have launched careers here! Lenny Bruce for one.
Now we are featuring Maryann Villanueva, and Maureen Hallock, on two separate Sundays.
Start listening to our off kilter reports of news sung by Bill Bosch, Duncan Christy and Ina Chadwick or you?

Westport, CT – For anyone who has attended the numerous and hilarious Storytelling events presented by Westporter Ina Chadwick’s MouseMuse Productions, it will come as no surprise that these showcase events have finally caught the eye of a NewYork City cabaret owner, John Forslund. Forslund owns the underground, a premiere venue for showcasing new talent and for the past 13 years a “go-to” au courant and eclectic entertainment destination. For Chadwick it is an ideal setting for the resources of her MouseMuse Live Magazine , a not for profit arm of the production company. Forslund says, “We are excited to be bringing Storytelling in all of its stage varieties to our venue which has already made a name for itself with Bound for Broadway. Our intention in partnering with Chadwick is to create a more robust and cultured theatre-going crowd on the upper west side, especially on Sunday afternoons.” The first show will take place on December 8, 2013 at 4PM.
