This weekend!

This week — a singular edition of Puppets at Night! Ventriloquist, entertainer, psychologist, and activist Susan Linn has had an astonishing career that’s taken her from the set of Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood to the front page of The New York Times. Through it all, Audrey Duck, her ageless avian sidekick, has provided cheeky, occasionally neurotic, always truthful commentary.

Join Susan and Audrey as they unravel their tangled past and tackle important questions of life, death, art, and the universe. Part stand-up comedy, part philosophical musing on the human condition, WHAT THE DUCK?!? is the hilarious, honest, and deeply edifying evening of entertainment you didn’t know you needed.

Plus — This edition of Puppets at Night includes Pay-What-You-Can pricing: The suggested ticket price is $25. Each dollar over $25 helps include someone who can't afford it, while allowing us to pay the artists & staff and cover the cost of running our theater.
