A Puppet Bucket Christmas Carol: An Improvised Holiday Puppet Show
Advertisement
As the gang improvises Dickens’ classic, things go sideways! Expect diva ghosts, puppet chaos, and (probably) a heartwarming finish.
About this Event

The Puppet Bucket gang is back at it again—and this time, they're taking on Dickens! A Puppet Bucket Christmas Carol follows the troupe’s valiant attempt to stage the beloved holiday classic, but things quickly spiral out of control as puppets and humans clash over artistic choices, missed cues, and deeply petty backstage rivalries. What begins as a straightforward retelling becomes an improvised whirlwind of diva ghosts, disappearing props, and increasingly unhinged theatrical “solutions.”

Expect big feelings, bigger meltdowns, and the kind of holiday joy that only felt-covered creatures with questionable boundaries can deliver. Whether you're here for the nostalgia, the nonsense, or the novelty of watching puppets fight for stage time, A Puppet Bucket Christmas Carol is the funniest holiday show you didn’t know you needed. Featuring special guest performers and an ending that’s sure to be heartwarming… probably.

$12 online (plus fees) | $16 at the door (plus fees)
