HOTEL SAGUARO, Guest Artist and More Coming Up at Great AZ Puppet Theater
By: BWW News Desk
Great AZ Puppet Theater just announced its upcoming shows in February and March 2016, featuring a special guest artist and more. Scroll down for details!
SPECIAL GUEST ARTIST PARASOL PUPPETS presents "LITTLE RED RIDING BUG": Little Red Riding Bug is on her way with a basket of goodies to visit her Granny, who flew a little too close to a bug light for comfort. But who should Little Red meet on her journey through the grass but the Big, Bad Frog! A cast of hand puppet bugs, including Dr. Pillbug, Little Red's Mama and a collection of critters on their way to a fancy dress bug ball illustrate a lively tale loosely based on the classic story. Original songs set to vintage honky tonk piano music will make you "buggy" with delight. For more information visit the artist's website at www.parasolpuppets.com. Friday, March 4 & Saturday, March 5
ADULT PUPPET SLAM: Part of an ongoing series of puppet shows for adults, the Slam brings together quirky, edgy puppeteers presenting exciting short works for adults. Outrageous, moving, bawdy, controversial -- expect the unexpected! Featuring special guest artist PETER ALLEN of PARASOL PUPPETS. ADULTS ONLY, ages 18+. $10 if PAID at least 24 hours in advance, $12 day-of-show. 8pm both nights.
February 10-28
