Gale McNeeley will bring to life Archy, the Poetic Cockroach, and 
Mehitabel, the morally careless alley cat, on Sunday March 29 at 6:00 PM 
at the Clague Playhouse, 1371 Clague Road in Westlake.

This is a special performance to celebrate the birth of Archy & 
Mehitabel in the New York Sun column of Don Marquis, March 29, 1916. 
Their wit and wisdom have been entertaining audiences ever since.

They were the subjects of a 1950s musical with Carol Channing and Eddie 
Bracken. Now the poems and songs are brought to life through the 
performance magic of Gale McNeeley. “This is adult fare with an innocent 
heart.”

Born in Cleveland, Gale’s career took him from the Great Lakes 
Shakespeare Festival to Broadway with Christopher Plummer in the 
musical, “Cyrano.” Gale has appeared in movies, on TV, in Cabaret , 
circus and in Regional Theatre.

Gale toured his one-man show around the country in 2016 to celebrate 
Archy and Mehitabel’s hundredth anniversary. This performance, hosted by 
the Clague Playhouse, continues Gale’s tradition.

There is no charge for this first-come-first-seated hour of comedy, wit 
and satire, but Free Will Offerings will be Happily Accepted.

Mr. McNeeley can be seen as Archy & Mehitabel on his website:
