ALL THE DIAMONDS YOU CAN EAT ~PLUS~ MANUMIT ~PLUS~ PACKRAT ~PLUS~ BEASTIES at Dixon Place

Like Ike and Tina, Bobby and Whitney, OJ and Nicole, All the Diamonds You Can Eat (ATDYCE) is a love story that never should have been but you still can’t look away. A story about a man, his music, his addictions and those California hills. A biography (who’s is uncertain) based on the music of Nathan Payne with original puppets designed and built by Anthony Rev. Wills, III.

The internal struggle of lost love and the fear of losing oneself in the process. There will be a story of a life long love that is taken away – a cutesy love story will be shadow, then the large puppet will spring up and surround/swallow the story- she is the lover that lost her partners.

PACKRAT is an immersive puppet theatre presentation incorporating an assortment of puppetry styles and animals that inhabit the Sagebrush Desert.

3 Sticks’ newest creation, Beasties, is a music theatre piece featuring puppets. Germinated during a weeklong residency at the Freight Project, Beasties began as a single song inspired by the visual art of Julian Crouch, a fellow artist in residence. While visiting Julian in his work space, a gazebo with a panoramic view of the Adirondacks, Andrew Lynch imagined a world and a story suggested by the paintings where a young boy in a carnivorous society that devours all the animals in the surrounding forest, in desperation turns to cannibalism.
