Puppet Slam in celebration of World Day of Puppetry

Leave the children at home for this Puppet Show!Puppet Manualfesto proudly hosts an adult-friendly evening at the Community Education Center's Meeting House Theater - 3500 Lancaster Ave. Philadelphia PA 19104 to benefit UNIMA-USA. We present a showcase of short puppetry vignettes for puppeteers and puppetry fans alike – a variety show featuring puppetry of all sorts. We invite puppetry fans to come and check out our first slam of 2014. You get to have a great time and your money goes to a good case too. Our World Day of Puppetry celebrations will be held as a fund raiser for UNIMA-USA, and all profits will be donated to UNIMA-USA. Join us as Puppet Manualfesto celebrates short-form puppetry and community, embracing a multitude of performance aesthetics. If it involves puppetry, mask work or object theatre we want to see and share it with everyone else. We promise a night filled with 2 to 10 minute gems of live puppetry, music by our house band: Up Your Cherry and special musical guest Greg Elliott. As usual, our house troupe F.O.P.I (found object puppet improve) will kick things off. And our puppet host, Tulip, will keep things moving along throughout the night.
