The Puppet Co. Presents:
Daisy O’Danny’s
Spooky Hootenanny!
Friday, October 30 at 8pm
As the veil is thinning, so is Daisy O'Danny's grasp of reality. Don the attire you've been looking for a reason to wear, grab a puppet, and join us for an evening singalong where we cast out our demons through song parodies so full of euphemisms and bad jokes that the ghosts of the trad songwriters might rise out of their graves to break Daisy's ukulele. Also, snacks!
For ages 18+. Valid ID must be shown at the door.
Early Bird Tickets: $25 General Admission
Early Bird Discount Ends on October 3
Tickets:
$30 General Admission
$75 VIP
VIP ticket holders will receive an OOAK hand puppet made "lovingly" by Daisy, and a songbook so the lyrics can follow them home.

Past Evening Events
Puppet Slams are an evening of short-form puppetry skits. Sponsored by the Puppet Slam Network, Puppet Slams often give experienced puppeteers a chance to show off a newly built puppet or follow an idea. Previous skits have included an abridged shadow puppet version of Peer Gynt, dinosaur puppets recounting Shakespeare, and duck Céline Djon singing of her love for Big Bird.
Next Slam: November 14
