SUMMARY:

The play is a Melodrama spoof written by Tim Kelly, Inspired by H.
Antoine D'Arcy's poem.  It is set in the 1890's in the barroom of the
Teller House, a hotel in Central City, Colorado.  Insidious villains
endeavor to separate Madelaine Mockingbird, chambermaid turned singer,
from the fortune left her by an old miner and from her true love: Jack
"Toulouse" Goodhart, painter turned tramp   Various other odd characters
populate the barroom, including a perpetually happy miner, a grim bar
keep, and an Arabic entertainer. All of which add humor, mystery, and
zany action to the show.   The Face on the Barroom Floor features good
character parts, hilarious sight gags, throw away lines, zany action,
classic vaudeville routines, and some really terrible (and very funny)
jokes.
