Putting it Off!

Opening night went swimingly! We had a packed house largely in thanks to regulars Joey and Ryan. Things went off without a hitch, for the most part. We didn't have time to hang the legs before the show, so the players didn't have wings to hide in while offstage. So the audience had a full view of the performers, even when they weren't on. I actually liked it a lot. Shows we're not hiding anything. They can see the performers aren't planning backstage during the show and they can see us react and enjoy the show. I liked it, personally.

Her's a summary of the the show!

Putting it Off!


Tim (Christian) never seems to be able to find the right time to ask his boss (puppet performed by Zack) for a raise. After 18 years at the company, no one appreciates his work and he’s stuck assisting Andy (puppet “Glover”, performed by Mandy), a once brilliant V.P. who, after a tragic boating accident in the Caribbean, has been left mentally challenged.

Steve (puppet “Larry” performed by Dave) convinces the boss to downsize to safe money, and soon Tim is out of a job. Not only that, but Steve starts sleeping with Tim’s ex-girlfriend Becky (Tara) using Tim’s own spare bedroom as their love-nest. And somehow Andy follows Tim home and stays; though, he has a bad habit of forgetting to wear pants.

At the prodding of his 4-star chef room-mate Mark (Clay), Tim works his way back into the company through the mailroom and soon uncovers Steve’s devious secret plan to sell the company to Chinese investors. Steve gets fired, loses Becky, and after a fist-fight with Tim, realizes that….

Well, let’s just say both Tim and Steve learned some sort of life lesson. Becky moved on to another man. Mark kept cooking, and Andy scratched his head and wondered where his pants were.
