Wednesday July 12 * 7pm

Join us for an unique evening of puppetry, live music and whimsy for adults of all ages!

"Playdoh Presents…Namaslay”, a comedy puppet musical premiered in the 2023 New Orleans Giant Puppet Festival. This touring show features a soundtrack of original musical numbers that are fun and thought-provoking for people of all ages. It deals with themes of gentrification, greenwashing, labor exploitation, toxic positivity, and wellness culture in the age of social media. There is occasional explicit language.  

In Namaslay: A Puppet Musical a peaceful village is crushed under boulders to make way for a giant rock-gym-turned-eco-resort. Two startup bros, Frankfooter Frank and Ked the Dog, enjoy the new age experience until their company goes under. They’re forced to stay on as indentured work-traders to pay off the hotel fees. Will they be converted to this shady wellness culture or join a resistance to Toxic Positivity?
