Bread and Puppet Theater – Dress Rehearsal

Bread and Puppet Theater encourages community engagement in each performance! If you are interested in joining The Grasshopper Rebellion Circus, come to the Alabama Contemporary Art Center on Saturday, November 24, 2018, from 1pm-3pm to be trained for Sunday night’s performance.

* The Grasshopper Rebellion Circus. Bread and Puppet Theater is a socially and politically engaged theater company that started in New York in the 1960s, currently out of Vermont. Each performance enlists local communities and train local participants to perform with the troupe. Sunday night at Alabama Contemporary Art Center, join us for a raucous and colorful, funny and poignant show featuring paper maché puppets driven by a hot brass band.

Tickets available at the door (cash only).

Please note this performance deals with controversial material (with puppets, but still). Visit breadandpuppet.org for more information.

“We are the Bread & Puppet Theater because we offer good old sourdough rye bread together with a great variety of puppetshows, some good, some not so good, but all for the good and against the bad. The art of puppetry helps women, men and children alike to overcome the established order and the obsessive submission to its politics and consequent brutalities.”
