All Puppet Players to Bring SANTA CLAUS CONQUERS THE MARTIANS to Arizona, 12/4-19

By:

They're baaacccckkk! Deck your halls with close encounters of the hilarious kind this holiday season, as "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" will be sliding into YOUR chimney from December 4th through the 19th.

Santa kidnapped by Martians?! Will the children of Earth have no toys on Christmas? Only Hollywood could cook up such an absurd story and only the All Puppet Players would want to make it into a live puppet show! This season, you could do the same old holiday re-runs, with their ho-hum holly and mundane, moldy mistletoe...or start a new tradition by joining Santa on a madcap adventure in outer space!

And now a word from Santa's Helpers: NOT FOR CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 7 (unless you are a dream-dasher and wish to scar them for life). WARNING! All Puppet Players shows are for mature audiences with exceedingly immature tastes (although tasting is not recommended due to risk of fur balls). They contain strong adult language and situations. Puppets can be unpredictable -- so if you are of a sensitive nature or are easily offended -- puppets don't care. Children of any kind are not permitted; with the exclusion of "SANTA CLAUS CONQUERS THE MARTIANS".

NOTICE: For all other performances, unsanctioned children will be confiscated and placed in cages for the duration of the performance. Parents may claim them (with proof of ownership) after the show. Fines may apply.

To convert your money into tickets, call 602-254-2151 or for more information, visit the ALL PUPPET PLAYERS website at www.allpuppetplayers.com.

ALL PUPPET PLAYERS are a critically-heralded theatre troupe whose sole purpose is to create quirky and innovative stage shows using puppetry to demolish the "typical" theatre experience and add a bit of anarchy to every stage on which they perform. The company has garnered numerous awards and recognitions for their productions and live events.
