A GROWING FESTIVAL FAVORITE THE PUPPET SLAM
(PERFORMERS STILL NEEDED)
We are planning a Puppet Slam on Saturday night at the Cardinal
Arts Theater at the old Seaboard Freight Depot, and as of May 27, 2008, there are still vacancies on the roster for YOUR performance!
The slam is in search of left of center acts. This is the home for twisted shadows, cranky crankies, scary marionettes, way out wayang, and sexy sock puppets. Acts can be short and they don't have to be super slick. Give a new character to an old puppet; blow off some steam. Admission for the general public is $5 (free for festival registrants), and performers will receive a split of that, so come on out and perform.
Among those scheduled to perform is Sean Keohane,
whose Terrible Polichinelle Puppet Theatre will present The Marriage
of Reason as part of our evening of adult puppet plays.
Originally written for children in 1860s Paris, Polichinelle's battle
of the sexes with a content bachelorette isn't only Politically
Incorrect, it's just wrong! Naughty, bawdy puppets, religious mysticism,
and totally unnecessary slapstick violence.
Not convinced yet? Okay, here comes the slam dunk...there will be food! The Savannah Coastal Puppetry Guild is sponsoring a little something to keep the late night snackers content.
