ASL-interpreted: The Head A Trouble Puppet Show – DFW
Hello friends in the deaf and hard-of-hearing community,
Trouble Puppet Theater Co. is offering an ASL-interpreted performance of our current production, The Head: A Trouble Puppet Show, on Thursday, Oct. 10, at 8 pm. Trouble Puppet has offered ASL interpretation on our mainstage shows for the last two seasons, and we are pleased to be able to do so again on this run.
Please, please, please spread the word! We do expect a sellout crowd on the 10th, so patrons are advised to buy in advance.
Below is more information about the show. I will also follow up with press photos in a separate email.
Best,
Kathryn Rogers
Producing Partner, Trouble Puppet Theater Co.

Inside the Man's head, an overworked Mechanic struggles with faulty machinery and the head's other residents, the Personal Demons, to navigate through one very difficult day. When the Personal Demons climb out of the shadows, all hell breaks loose!
Trouble Puppet Theater Co. presents The Head, a darkly hilarious original work of puppet theater for grown-ups. We are SO excited about this show—an uncanny, funny, and gripping spectacle unlike any you've seen before. Book now.
The Mechanic maintains and operates the machinery that makes it possible for The Man to get out of bed, go to work, have conversations, and otherwise live daily life. The Man's issues, poor judgment, and bad habits chronically make the little Mechanic's job more difficult. When the Personal Demons climb out of the shadows of the Limbic Lobe, all hell breaks loose inside and outside the Head.
Trouble Puppet's bunraku-style tabletop puppets are each manipulated by as many as 3 puppeteers. The puppets, the set, and the show are a visually and technically remarkable spectacle, with a gorgeous original score.
A completely original work written and directed by Artistic Director Connor Hopkins (winner of B. Iden Payne Awards for Outstanding Direction of a Drama as well as Outstanding Original Script and The Austin Examiner's Best New Play Written by an Austinite), The Head features music by Justin Sherburn, lighting by Megan Reilly, sound design by K. Eliot Haynes, costume design by Monica Gibson, graphic design by Chris Owen, and performances by Jose Villarreal, Noel Gaulin, Rachel Wiese, Parker Dority, David Higgins, Travis Bedard, Kim Adams, Nathan Lahay, Elyce Lahay, and Chris Gibson.
Sept. 26–Oct. 12, 2013 (8 pm Thursdays–Saturdays, 6 pm Sundays.)
