Puppeteers For Fears Announces Season For World Puppet Day

Puppeteers for Fears (the only all-original, all-local theater company in Southern Oregon, and recently voted Best Non-OSF Theater Company by readers of The Rogue Valley Messenger) is announcing its new season today for World Puppet Day.

Season highlights include a national revival tour of the company's hit show, Cthulhu: the Musical! that will be featured at the Hollywood Fringe Festival in Los Angeles, the debut of a new feature-length epic, Robopocalypse: the Musical!, and the world premiere of Puppeteers for Fears new short film, Bigfoot's Lament, at the Ashland Independent Film Festival.

Puppeteers for Fears will launch its 2018 season with a headlining performance at the Oregon Fringe Festival at Southern Oregon University on Sat., April 28. The performance will feature a cabaret-style presentation of original comedy sketches using returning characters from PFF's earlier shows, and a series of original songs, including a sneak preview of the new analog synthesizer based soundtrack for Robopocalypse: the Musical!

Complete performance dates are below.
