Fussy Cloud Puppet Slam Volume 28: What in Gay Hell?! comes to Theatre Off Jackson for two nights only, July 18 and 19, in a no-holds-barred queer take on religion, puppetry, and the fine art of sacrilege.
This edition of Fussy Cloud is bigger, louder, and gayer than ever—featuring a lineup of puppetry, drag, shadow theatre, and irreverent storytelling that pushes the boundaries of divine and depraved.
Night One – Friday, July 18 at 8:00 PM
A classic slam-style variety show with an unholy communion of short-form acts by queer and allied artists. Performers include Miss Ruby Ross, Scary-Ann, Jawbone Puppet Theater, Treasure Trove, Mikki Ulaszewsk, Cat Aceto, and Miss Texas 1988. Expect puppets, sinners, saints, and some truly hellbound hilarity.
Night Two – Saturday, July 19 at 8:00 PM
Features two full-length queer puppet epics:
-
Unraveling by Shadow Girls Cult: A cinematic shadow puppet dreamscape exploring grief, longing, identity, and queerness through stunning live visuals using 200+ handmade puppets and experimental light play.
-
Church of the Auntie Christ: A glam gospel drag-puppet revival starring Miss Texas 1988 as a wayward Christian lost in a glitter-drenched queer congregation. Come for the communion, stay for the homoeroticism.
Doors open at 7:30 PM. Night One runs 90 minutes; Night Two runs approximately 2 hours.
Location: Theatre Off Jackson, 409 7th Ave S, Seattle, WA 98104
