🎭 𝐋𝐨𝐅𝐢 𝐏𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐬 + 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐟𝐟: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐟𝐟-𝐎-𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜

𝟏 𝐏𝐌 | 𝟏𝟏/𝟏𝟓 | 𝐒𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐤 | 𝐀𝐥𝐥 𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬

A traveling variety show with plenty of puppets and all kinds of stuff. The audience picks the order of the pieces in the show so no two shows are fully identical. Watch us build the theater, do a fully unique show, then be on our way…all in around 45mins.

"Lo-fi puppets + stuff” is the result of the artistic partnership of Greg Cote and Alli Villines. As Main Maker of Stuff + Nonsense and Executive Whimsist respectively they create a great many pieces of home made short form puppetry. Their #1 goal is to make cool stuff with cool folks; at home and abroad.
