THE PERILS OF MR. PUNCH

ONLINE SHOW:  CLICK HERE for tickets and info.

Modern Times Theater will be performing their first public live stream show this Saturday, May 23 at 3 PM. A family ticket is just $10, and the seating is unlimited. Unless you had to sell your couch to make up for lost wages. 

This updated classic follows the troubles and travails of puppetry’s favorite loudmouth, Mr. Punch. Nothing ever goes right– his dog looks suspiciously like a skunk, his baby doesn’t behave, and crocodiles appear around every corner. The skillfully operated hand puppets are made of garbage and up-cycled material, and are chock full of surprises and tricks, as is the elaborate stage.

This ever-evolving saga changes with the seasons, and is always fresh, with new gags, and puppets constantly joining the cast.

The show is rounded out with live music played on a variety of instruments, from the ukulele to the bicycle pump. It’s a low-tech old-time spectacle, entertaining to children of all ages: from one to one hundred.
