Go see Tears of Joy’s upcoming adult series show, The Tell-Tale Heart.  One live actor (Nate Crosby) takes on a puppet (manipulated by Jon Plueard, Jason Miranda, and Bill Holznagel). Adapted from Edgar Allan Poe’s infamous short horror story, this production blends live actors, mask and life-sized puppets. Only two performances, be sure to get your tickets soon by calling their box office 503.248-0557. Not recommended for youth under 10 years old.

The Seven Deadly Sins Puppet Slam was such a blast!  It was the perfect way to round out a year that was chalk full of the art of puppetry.  Beady Little Eyes would like thank all the folks involved in making these slams happen.  We have been flanked with an awesome tribe behind the scenes, on the stage and across the US; there are too many to name.  Stay tuned in January for the announcement of next year’s dates. More soon!

What a gloriously sinful night we had last night! In addition to enjoying incredible puppet shows and films, we text-confessed our sins to Randy, ate dozens of VooDoo Doughnuts, and raffled off prizes.  Thanks for supporting live performance, puppeteers and gluttony.

Guess who donated some super sweet prizes for the Seven Deadly Sins Slam RAFFLE this weekend?  Oh, so sinful.  The raffle will benefit the Eugene O’neill’s National Puppetry Conference Alumni Fund aka Puppet Camp for Puppet Nerds!

If you find yourself in sunny California this month, don’t miss the incredible, candy-loving Lolly Lardpop and Leslie Carrera-Rudolph in Wake up Your Weird at the Lesher Center for the Arts in Walnut Creek, CA.  The show opens Sept 30th.  Ms. Lardpop is a lovable basket of smiles and will give free hugs if you ask her nicely (see picture above).  If you really want a giggle, check out some of Lolly’s video blog posts.
