The Comical Misadventures of Mr. Punch

Z Puppets Rosenschnoz — Mon, 09 Oct 2006 23:17:28 GMT

A whimsical modern twist on the jolly old British tradition of Punch & Judy. When the Baby goes missing, Mr. Punch sets out to the rescue. Along the way, Mr. Punch unleashes mischief and meyhem -- wrestling with a crocodile, a police officer, a doctor, the devil himself, and all sense of proper decorum. A travesty of manners in which we ask the children to keep the puppets from misbehaving.

A La Carte: In a Fool's Kitchen

Z Puppets Rosenschnoz — Mon, 09 Oct 2006 21:59:46 GMT

A La Carte is a comic battle between a faux French Chef and a wily lobster set to live accordion music. A La Carte is highly physical, playful interactive comedy featuring clowning, puppetry and a few unruly vegetables. A La Carte begins as the clown Chef sets the table for the Grand Opening of his 2-seat cafe. From the moment he flips over the open sign, Le Chef Profesional stirs audience members into the action, from recruiting contestants for a carrot peeling race to selecting the restaurant's first customers, Madame and Monsieur Importante. However, before the Chef can impress his very important guests, dinner's main ingredient stages a rebellion. Who knew crustaceans could concoct such delicious mischief? An example of how physical comedy and puppetry can transcend across languages to demonstrate that laughter is truly universal.
