The Modest Puppetry Festival 3: Electric Boogaloo

Come check out local artists performing puppetry for adults across a wide range of styles from shadows to felt to cardboard! This year's Modest Puppetry Festival will feature "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" performed with hilarious musical accompaniment by Staunton's own The Off Center! There will be new short performances by Charlottesville artists Ophelia Wild, AV Legere, Artist's Proof Editions, Adele Josephine with Soyboy and Susan Loquat, and Nettle Shirts Puppet Works. Between shows will be musical interludes by Benjamin Freedman, plus a tiny puppet show in a box for one viewer at a time from DC artist Cecilia Cackley. And you can make puppets yourself at Cecilia's "Tiny Worlds" puppetry workshop at the Scrappy Elephant (scrappyelephant.com/classes) the Saturday before the festival! *note: actual modesty is not guaranteed
