Nasty, Brutish & Short: A Puppet Retrospective

Nasty, Brutish & Short: A Puppet Cabaret, is (almost) 15 and we’re throwing a special retrospective show and party to celebrate! 

For those not in-the-know, NBS is a platform for experimental short-form puppet works for adults. This show will feature fan-favorite puppetry acts throughout our (almost) 15-year history!

Join us beforehand, 6:30-7:30pm, for a PUPPET & PIZZA PRE-PARTY!

Buy a $40 ticket to join our pizza party before the show! We’ll have pizza, a photobooth, music, vibes, and Jameson’s entire repertoire of puppets on display for folks to play with. 

TICKETS

Regular tickets to the show are $20

Tickets to the show AND our special pre-show pizza party are $40

We’ll be using the entire building, so come on out and celebrate this special space and these special puppets on a Tuesday.

Nasty, Brutish & Short is a late night cabaret packed with contemporary short-form puppet and object based theater. Providing a low-risk environment for artists to perform new and experimental work, this puppet slam fosters an artistic exchange between puppet artists of different generations and mediums.

This performance is for adult audiences.
