Lifeline Theatre's KidSeries presents a world premiere musical adaptation of Naked Mole Rat Gets Dressed, based on the book by New York Times bestselling author Mo Willems (Knuffle Bunny: A Cautionary Tale, Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!).
Lunatic Cunning is an original, new work by James Godwin, puppetry and performance art pioneer and founder of puppet comedy troupe, The Elementals. Lunatic Cunning is a solo, semi-autobiographical 'mockumentary', mixing experiences from Godwin's own life - such as
work with Julie Taymor on Across the Universe, as well as appearances on Saturday Night Live, Chappelle's Show, PBS and with the Muppets--with an examination of the occult roots of puppetry
and performance art.
Last weekend, Little Guy and I took the voyage downtown to the Manhattan Children's Theatre's new space at 380 Broadway. Before I tell you how terrific this show is, a word of warning: DO NOT BRING A STROLLER. I wish someone had told me that I'd be greeted by a 4-floor walkup. Once we made it up the steps, we were greeted by a friendly staff and beautiful, well-lit playing space that is ideal for a children's show...if only there were an elevator.
