KATHLEEN ( MOOKY)  CORNISH  announces a show at Carleton University in April:  The Glories of Gloria Revue.  

A triple threat: Gloria can sing, dance, and turn cartwheels. And if she doesn't know how to do something, she'll fake it. But when the world won't recognize her talent, what's a performer to do? Dubbed "a comedic genius" by The Humboldt Beacon, Mooky-as-Gloria bumbles her way through a series of theatrical vignettes, puppetry and video segments, as her dream of being a star becomes reality.
