Austin’s Trouble Puppet Theater Company is currently performing its award-winning show The Jungle with ASL interpretation on Wednesday. I am writing to offer DNT friends a two-for-one ticket price good this Wednesday only (March 30).
Here’s the listing the Austin Chronicle posted:
THE JUNGLE It’s difficult to recommend this show highly enough. Trouble Puppet Theater Company’s adaptation of Upton Sinclair’s 1906 novel-length exposé about the meatpacking industry was one of 2009’s most critically and popularly successful shows – and that was just a workshop version. Here Connor Hopkins and his talented crew present the full production, partly funded by the Jim Henson Foundation. . . . You think puppetry can’t be deep and daring and dark? Thanks to this tale of abused slaughterhouse workers, you’ve got another think coming. Tickets $10-$20: March 16-April 3 (Weds-Sun at 8:00 pm, Sun at 5:00 pm), Salvage Vanguard Theater, 2803 Manor Rd, Austin. 512-573-2540. http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/155323
The 2009 Jungle won four B. Iden Payne awards and was listed on three of the Chronicle’s four theater-related “Best of 2009” lists.
And here are two wonderful reviews of our current production:
