The Under-Bread Cabaret and More!

Happy Fall friends of Puppet Underground!

Its been a quiet summer for us, but we have some exciting events coming up in October.

First, Bread and Puppet Theater is coming to town again on October 3^rd and 4th! We’re so excited to host them for a cabaret and a circus: The Under-Bread Cabaret and The Circus of the Possibilitarians.

And then later in the month, on October 13^th, we’re hosting a screening of a new documentary, Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow: Traditional String Music, followed by a concert by the amazing Colectivo Altepee, who play Son Jarocho music from Veracruz, Mexico and are featured in the film.

Details about all three events below.

We hope to see you in October!

The Under-Bread Cabaret

Wednesday, October 3^rd at 7:30 pm

at The Electric Maid

268 Carroll St Takoma Park

(right across the street from the Takoma Park Metro)

This Puppet Underground/Bread and Puppet collaboration features local performers as well as a variety of Bread and Puppet's shorter shows. This is a smaller venue, so please rsvp to PuppetUndergroundDC@gmail.com if you plan on coming to the Cabaret, and we’ll reserve seats.

(The cabaret includes puppet nudity that, depending on your parenting style, may not be appropriate for children.)

The Circus of the Possibilitarians

Thursday, October 4^th st 7:30 pm

St Stephen and the Incarnation Church

corner of 16^th St and Newton St NW

(a few blocks from the Columbia Heights Metro)

The Circus of the Possibilitarians is a satirical horse and butterfly circus, addressing pertinent national and international issues in a clownish fashion, including rotten ideas, a wild dancing horse and some mellow lions, a solemn salute to the world’s casualties and much more! The Dire Circumstance Jubilation Ensemble provides a little bit of brass and a lot of noise. Please take note that if some of the circus acts are politically puzzling to adults, accompanying children can usually explain them.
