Fussy Cloud Puppet Slam Volume 27 Set For Next Month

Gather your garlic, grab your silver bullets, and hold onto your emotional baggage — because FCPS Vol 27: MONSTER OF THE WEEK is clawing its way to the stage for two nights only. Prepare yourself for 10 creature-feature puppet acts crafted by ghoulishly gifted puppeteers from around the Northwest. It's a celebration of the strange and the silly, inspired by the campy, creepy, and oddly charming world of one-off monsters. Expect laughs, a few light scares, and maybe even a tender moment with a tentacled creature who just wants to be understood.

Inspired by the iconic “monster of the week” trope, each act dives into the world of short-lived monsters — some scary, some sweet, some deeply confused. Think: cryptids with commitment issues, zombies finding a new lease on life, paranormal investigators who've seen too much, and a vampire just trying to get through a port of entry. Monster of the Week brings together ten PNW puppeteers to create cosmic horror on a cable access budget because some mysteries can't be solved, only lip-synced.

Hosted by the fan-favorite recurring character Tootsie Spangles, Monster of the Week celebrates the twisted talent of 10 Pacific Northwest puppeteers, with a terrifying variety of puppets, including hand and rod puppets, shadow puppetry, masks, toy theatre, and cardboard puppets.
