Description
Step into “A Slice of Crazy Pie”, a surreal cabaret of hand-carved wooden marionettes, live music, and audience interaction created by puppeteer and multidisciplinary artist Madison J. Cripps.
Performed cabaret-style with the puppeteer fully visible, the show invites audiences beyond passive observation and into collective play through song, call-and-response, improvisation, and direct interaction with the marionettes themselves. Equal parts street theater, folk art, and absurdist ritual, “A Slice of Crazy Pie” explores ecology, human oddity, emotional vulnerability, and the joy of creative participation.
On Saturday, August 29 at 11 a.m., join puppeteer Madison J. Cripps in “An Exploration in Marionettes” workshop. Free for “A Slice of Pie” Ticket Holders.
