Trouble Puppet Theater Co. presents The Cruel Circus, an original play by Connor Hopkins.<\/p>\n

A mysterious tinkerer brings to life an entire world of strange circus performers \u2014 some polished and complete, some clumsy and misshapen \u2014 then disappears, leaving them to make sense of who they are and what they are made for.<\/p>\n

A new work of dark whimsy from the company who brought Austin award-winning productions of The Jungle, Frankenstein, Riddley Walker, and most recently, Toil & Trouble. Trouble Puppet deploys bunraku-style tabletop puppets to create graceful, lifelike, compelling drama for adults.<\/p>\n

Arrive early for preshow music by Cami Alys!<\/p>\n

Trouble Puppet Theater Company: Founded in 2004, Trouble Puppet is dedicated to the creation of exceptional works of puppet theater, to the promotion of the art of puppetry, and to the support of its practitioners. We dig as deeply as we can into the possibilities that puppetry offers, in its many forms and styles, and seek to balance risk and exploration with a drive for excellent craft and technique. Our work is inspired not only by our artistic passion but by our social, political, and human convictions: that there can be no end to the struggle for knowledge and compassion, against injustice and intolerance.<\/p>\n

Trouble Puppet is a sponsored project of Salvage Vanguard Theater and is supported by The Jim Henson Foundation, the City of Austin, and individual donors. The Cruel Circus is underwritten in part by Joel and Dina Sherzer and Amy Miller.
\nThis project is funded and supported in part by the City of Austin through the Economic Growth & Redevelopment Services Office\/Cultural Arts Division believing an investment in the Arts is an investment in Austin\u2019s future. Visit Austin at http:\/\/www.NowPlayingAustin.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Salvage Vanguard Theater is a hub for Austin artists, audiences, and arts organizations. SVT creates and presents transformative, high-quality artistic experiences that foster experimentation and conversation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
