Join us for a Holiday themed event-- and we mean that literally-- this event is hilarious mashup of Christmas, Halloween, and Arbor Day.
The Austin Puppet Incident features local and national puppet artists performing short, original puppet works for ADULT audiences. Funny, sweet, deep, enchanting: it's all here. Co-presented by Glass Half Full Theatre and Trouble Puppet Theater Company, and funded in part by The Puppet Slam Network, The Austin Puppet Incident is an annual event since 2009. |
The Austin Puppet Incident is supported by the Puppet Slam Network.
Glass Half Full Theatre (Puppetry & Physical Theatre of Objects & Ideas) creates original works of theatre using the precise physical language of both humans and puppets to address the momentous issues that humankind confronts across the globe. Our productions are designed to travel across linguistic and cultural boundaries to the heart of the imagination, where together with our audience we strive to probe, to question, to elevate, and to dream.
Productions include the award-winning FupDuck, The Orchid Flotilla, Once There Were Six Seasons, Simple Sundries, Cenicienta, Petra and the Wolf, Don Quixote de La Redo, and a physical comedy series, Missionary Position: Pleasure Journeys for the Intrepid Lady Explorer, as well as annual events The Handmade Bikini Fashion Show and The Austin Puppet Incident (Co-curated with sister company, Trouble Puppet). GHFT is a sponsored project of the Austin Creative Alliance, and is funded in part by The Jim Henson Foundation, The Puppet Slam Network, The Creative Fund, and The City of Austin Cultural Arts Council. www.glasshalffulltheatre.com
