The Players’ Ring will present two public performances of A Slice of Crazy Pie, a cabaret-style marionette performance by award-winning puppeteer Madison J. Cripps. Blending meticulously crafted marionettes, original music, humor, poetry, and imaginative storytelling, the performance will introduce audiences to contemporary puppetry. The engagement will include post-show meet-and-greets, a free hands-on marionette workshop for artists, and a pre-show puppet stroll in nearby Prescott Park to encourage community participation.
