Spring Performance
Brace yourself for Mark Down’s extremely important and equally entertaining puppet lecture: What to Do in a Puppet Emergency. Silly yet philosophical, this easy to follow 10-step program will equip you to save a puppet’s life, no matter your expertise. Many will recognize Down from the January 2026 Festival Blind Summit performances of The Sex Lives of Puppets. Others, if they have finally stopped laughing, will be able to recall this performance from the Closing Party.
