Summary
So you have the absurd safari of "American Trophies," a collection of human specimens coming to Key West Feb. 1, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., at the Custom House Museum. Previous Bogan/MacNelly shows have featured a transvestite rooster, giant shoes and frogs. Now they've dedicated themselves to human prey, like young Barry and his pet identical twin hamster; like Polly, original roller derby girl revisiting her skates and short shorts; like Eugene who perpetually lounges in a bathrobe, perpetually invites you into his hot tub. There are also two sculptures caught mid-guffaw, a bit of mortal hilarity that departs drastically from the "What was that noise?" expressions of the others and confirms MacNelly and Bogan's mastery of moods.
