Death Penalty Puppetry

The Loring Playhouse
~ Minnesota Fringe Festival • August 6–15, 2004 ~

Created & Written by The Company

Conceived & Directed by G.J. Clayburn

 

Finally, two topics that have divided the nation collide before our eyes: the death penalty and puppetry.

It all starts innocently enough. A puppet and his human sidekick enter a convenience store for a newspaper, fig newtons and — oh yeah — all of the money in the safe.

Through a series of scenes and vignettes, the topic unfolds as only puppets can examine it — with hilarity, sensitivity and heart-felt performances.

This is Chameleon's first venture into company-created work. This is also the company's first dive into puppet-filled waters. Will they sink or swim? Come find out!
