Punch and Judy are traveling all the way to Hardwick for just two performances— May 16 & 17 right on Main Street

It’s Saturday morning cartoons, but better! A live puppet show, entertaining for all ages (plus snacks, treats & prizes!)

Allow Mr. Punch to remove your bad mood, in this absurdist delight for four out of the five senses. Watch as Judy tames unruly plumbing while avoiding the jaws of the carnivore du jour! And, feast your eyes upon the diaper change that should not be! It’s a melodrama of epically small proportions, and it’s so funny that you’ll forget to take out your phone for at least the first half-hour. It’s a low-tech old-time spectacle, as entertaining to the masses of today as it was three hundred years ago.

The hand puppets are created from up-cycled designer trash and performed in an eccentric itinerant puppet stage. The show is hosted per tradition by a “bottler,” the uku-lady Rose Friedman. Justin Lander—showman of the absurd—portrays all the characters.

The program is rounded out with live music played on a variety of instruments, from the cornet to the bicycle pump.

Saturday May 16 & Sunday May 17 at 1.
Tickets available at the Civic Standard, 39 South Main St., and at the door.

Punch and Judy are ready to take center stage after being slightly neglected by us while other projects and puppet shows got made. And we are excited to be on the road again, dragging the kids along, getting a chance to visit old friends and performing for a totally new audience here in Detroit. If you’re in the area, check out the shows and workshops we are doing over the next few days !

(And if you are closer to our home, stay tuned for a special Saturday storefront show in Hardwick in May!)

This weekend, ”Artificial Insurance: A Paranoid Normal Triptych” opens at ArtYard in Frenchtown, New Jersey. The exhibit is housed in three very small galleries hidden in the walls of the museum. The triptych is an exploration of the visceral anxiety provoked by the AI invasion into our world, and opens on Saturday, February 21.
