We’ll be doing a short bit as part of this artist’s salon on March 26th. This is more of an adult venue and part of the act may not be appropriate for children, but absurd and silly enough for adults!
A puppet show for all ages, Aunt Irene’s talk show is filled with music and odd variety acts like a singing sloth and a know-it-all radio. Things go awry when a witch starts casting spells on guests and acts. Live music by Matthew Ocone, and a whole lot of absurdity.
Where: Circus Culture in Press Bay Alley in Downtown Ithaca
116 West Green Street Ithaca, NY 14850
When: Friday March 18th 3:45pm
Saturday March 19th 12pm and 5pm
Cost: $7 Adult, $5 Kids (Under 3 free)
Here are some clips from our show on Nov 7th at Lot 10 Bar and Lounge. We hope to have another round of shows in Ithaca soon!
LilySilly is putting some of our creations up on Etsy! Each puppet has its own personality and is made from reclaimed materials! $20 – $28 each. Check em out.
We’re getting ready for Aunt Irene’s Late at Night show – her first gig at a bar. Here are some of the characters:
Here’s Aunt Irene herself behind her desk with her beloved plant – a 200 year old bonsai. And on the other side of the stage, an evil young witch who plans to control the show with her older, beautiful (well, for a witch) 
sister.
Now here is Mr. Blue, a fuzzy guy who has a very odd act involving a radio and some interesting puppet science. See Mr. Blue discover the truth about himself and his own interior.
And here is the popular singing sloth. Madame Sloth is hard to get for a performance because she sleep all day long and rarely gets up. She can often be mistaken for a tree limb. But for Aunt Irene she gets her act together.
We hope to see you on November 7th at Lot 10 for this puppet experience!
A puppet show for all ages, Aunt Irene’s talk show goes awry as witches compete with celebrity guests, experts and musical numbers. See Johnny Depp, Carl Sagan, a singing sloth and a whole lot of absurdity. Live music by Matthew Ocone.
