The Gottabees Come to Detroit with LOLLIPOPS FOR BREAKFAST

As part of the 2017 Outdoor Summer Series, CMAP is excited to welcome a special guest performance of Lollipops for Breakfast by The Gottabees, on July 16 at 2:00pm, 2221 Carpenter St, Detroit MI 48212.

Lollipops with Breakfast explores how two friends overcome obstacles to get what they both want: a perfect lollipop. The goal is to get every child (and every adult, too!) to feel that they are seeing their own experience of trying something new, failing and then trying again. The performance, told entirely without words, features multiple styles of puppetry, original music, and a tiny bit of acrobatics.

This short 45-minute performance is inspired by the fearlessly imaginative female leads in these wondrous stories: Rosie Revere, Engineer, by Andrea Beaty; The Most Magnificent Thing, by Ashley Spires; Mrs. Meyers, the Bird, by Wolf Erlbruch; and Alice's Adventure's in Wonderland.

Director: Dan Milstein | Creator/Performer: Bonnie Duncan
Set: Brett Bundock | Set Painter: Kristine Cortese
Costumes: Penney Pinette | Music: BrenDan Burns, Tony Leva

All performances are free and open to the public, however donations are welcomed. Seating is first come, first served.

About The Gottabees

The Gottabees started making super fun theater for families in 2013 with the creation of Squirrel Stole My Underpants and it's follow-up, Lollipops for Breakfast, in 2015. They have since been selling out venues and inspiring homemade puppet shows throughout the US and Canada. They find it deeply satisfying to create original physical theater so families can do something fun together that allows them all to giggle, gasp, sigh, and cheer in 45 minutes or less. Their shows are often stories told without words-they embrace the physical and the visual in theater. The result is a poetic, non-linear story that surprises audiences.
