HEY BALTIMORE!

We are thrilled to announce the fifth season of the Puppet Slamwich at
Black Cherry Puppet Theater! Mark your calendars for our first show of the season on November 15th, featuring some Baltimore Puppet All-Stars and a batch of performers new to our stage!

The night features 'The Stag', a scene from Jakov Lind's story 'Soul of Wood,' produced and directed by Jeanine Padgett and Jim Sheehan, workshopped and puppeteered by Anna Fitzgerald, Jen Liu, and Michael Lamason. This piece was a recipient of a Henson Seed Grant (2013). Chris Owen presents his avant-garde cranky performance of Charles Bukowski's poems via live painting on a moving scroll.  Aminah Shourbaji premiers a surrealist puppet show featuring giant cardboard pop-ups, New York City's Team Lopez infuses the show with some puppet improv, Slam-Fan Extraordinaire Chris Puls debuts his first show "One of our Submarines", and Puppet Master Anna Fitzgerald performs "The Most Beautiful Tree!" PLUS radical brass and foot-stomping beats by Baltimore's Barrage Band Orchestra!

TWO SHOWS@ 7pm & 9:30! ONE NIGHT ONLY! 

Thanks Puppet Slam Network for your continued support of the Baltimore Puppet Slam community!

JANUARY 18 * A ROCKING PUPPET SLAMWICH!


Black Cherry Puppet Theater glows bright in the dark winter night with a rocking new puppet slam full of amazing performers from New York to DC!  CARLA RHODES,  the world's foremost (and only) rock'n'roll ventriloquist performs with the 'notable star of stage and screen' CECIL SINCLAIR. Don't miss this rare Charm City performance! Carla was mentored by the legendary Shari Lewis (that's right, Lamchop's Mama), nominated for an Andy Kaufmann award and has appeared on MTV's Weird Vibes!  The prolific and award-winning DONNA OBLONGATA, theater artist and writer, Wham City collective member, and co-founder of Missoula Oblongata, returns to Baltimore to perform "A Day at the Beach." One of Baltimore's most inventive and energetic creature makers, KEVIN SHERRY brings Brain Bear (and perhaps some Yetis) back to the Puppet Slam stage. Prepare for giant papier-mâché heads, beaucoup fun fur and killer pop tunes. "Retire for the Evening", a short film featuring Carla and Cecil, made by EDDIE HELLMAN will be screened as well.  For just $7 bucks, folks, you get all that plus DC's DAVID GREENFIELDBOYCE & SANDY ASIRVATHAM and  a premier performance by Copycat Theater cofounder PERSON ABLACH The popcorn machine will be churning, and musical guest THE WORLD FAIR will keep your toes tapping. 

Come on down to the coziest little puppet theater in town and show your love to these puppeteers!

Saturday, January 18 with shows at 7 and 9:30! Tickets available at Brown Paper Tickets.
