About this Event
PUPPETQUEERS VOL. 8
PUPPETQUEERS is an evening of short form adult puppet theater. This offering is made for the queers (and their allies), by the queers, exploring beyond the binaries of puppetry.
PUPPETQUEERS is a PWYC (pay what you can) and DIY puppet slam event dedicated to uplifting and celebrating queer artists working within puppetry. From long-standing puppeteers to those new in the scene to those who may be experimenting with puppetry as a form for their art for the very first time, PUPPETQUEERS offers a home and a stage for all of them. PUPPETQUEERS also often features an element where the audience can contribute meaningfully to the work.
This volume features the talents of:
- Alex Perez (he/him)
- Amari Amai (he/they)
- Anastar Alvarez (they/them)
- Andres Fiz (they/them)
- Luis Valenzuela Jr. (he/they/any)
- Tia Pinson (she/they)
