Hand to God
The youth of Cypress, Texas spend their afternoons at church with the Christian Puppet Ministry. When one of the puppets turns out to have a life of its own, all hell breaks loose! Good heavens! (Or hell!) Stray Cat Theatre and Phoenix Theatre join forces for this irreverent comedy. February 2-25 at Phoenix Theatre, 100 E. McDowell Rd. Tix: PhoenixTheatre.com or call 602-254-2151
Fifty Shades of Felt What happens when Mr. Grey gets “handsy” and Ana gets “felt up”? This hilariously erotic, fuzzy,-wuzzy orgasmic sex-romp tells the titillating story ... puppet style! Adults only; this ain’t Sesame Street. February 9-24 at Playhouse on the Park. Check out the details on AllPuppetPlayers.com and for tix, or call 602-254-2151
The Boob Show
The “uplifting” world premier of this “bouncy” original musical comedy was written by local artists Sally Jo Bannow and Craig Bohmler.
