Events National Puppet Slam comes to Atlanta
Posted by Andrew Alexander @AndrewAWriter on Wed, Aug 1, 2012 at 11:31 AM
Anyway, it's time to rethink, regroup, re-plan. In the meantime, there'll be a couple days of mourning, complaining, and finger-pointing so... um... while that's going on... May we suggest a puppet show? It's cheaper than drowning your sorrows in bourbon and much more fun.
The National Puppet Slam comes to the stage of the Center for Puppetry Arts this weekend, Friday and Saturday nights, August 3-4, at 8 p.m.
The 18-and-over, adults-only event is a showcase of the best short-form puppet theater from the Puppet Slam Network (Think poetry slam crossed with Saturday Night Live and Triumph the Insult Dog and you'll start to get the idea). The most beautiful, ingenious and hilarious work from puppet slams in New York, Philadelphia, Portland, and Atlanta will take the stage for two nights, proving that we have great shows in Atlanta and that sooner or later we'll figure out great ways to get there.
For more information or to purchase tickets, call 404-873-3391 or visit the Center for Puppetry Arts. Tickets are $12 ($7 for members).
