Tickets are Pay What You Want
Pay What You Want lets you choose how much to pay for a ticket. Nothing should stand between between you and great puppet art, least of all a brutal social construct like money. Suggested prices can be found by selecting different ticketing options on this page. For more info on how we make Pay What You Can work, click here
You will move during this show!
You will be mostly on your feet for the ~1 hour production. One or two of the segments will be seated. Chairs can be made available for those with difficulty standing for long stretches.
Come Masked. Come Vaccinated.
For the health and safety of our audiences and especially our performers, we require that all audience members wear a mask and we ask that everyone be vaccinated unless you have a medical exception.
