This type of puppetry is one of the most striking.

Thank You Modern Studio for putting together a fun local lineup and to everyone who braved the weather! It was a dark and stormy night in Happy Holler and we were proud to be part of it.

Last month we performed at the grand opening of Modern Studio. Our 15 minute slot was curated to highlight the different types of puppetry we like. The first being two hand-and-rod Witch puppets. When you mention puppets to average people they either think of this type of "Muppet" puppet or marionettes. Puppeteers are almost always hidden from sight with both.

The next set was more minimal as puppets go. Two singing skulls insinuating entire skeletons--one in a coffin and another holding it open in metaphor. Each with a skeleton hand for expression and emphasis. The puppeteers not entirely visible but not totally hidden either.

The third set was a solo of our "Banshee" puppet. This puppet is more modern with the puppeteer seen and draped in the Banshee's dress, her spare arm being the Banshee's arm.

In the final set our puppeteers are seen and are actually characters in the song that the Puppet is singing. They are two of her many lovers and she interacts with them during the act.

Our "Spook Shows" typically showcase all these different types of puppets along with other theatrics. We hope to continue exploring further options with upcoming shows!

There's rain in the forecast! In case of rain we'll not take the puppets out but you'll still be able to get your puppet mojo on at cattywampus puppet council's workshop!

Look for us downtown on March 21st. We'll be celebrating World Day of Puppetry by bringing out some of our favorites. Come say hi and meet a puppet!
