SACRED CANDY:  an experimental adult puppet extravaganza
Puppets.  Big Masks.  Physical Theater.
Including the short masterpiece "Fire Hydrant Woman gets Tooken Away," written, designed and directed by the 5-year-old, which culminates in a disemboweled t-rex spewing guts and candies, the show quickly spirals into madness, as a clueless girl meets the world through the eyes of Candywoot, a schizophrenic clown obsessed with the reality of a near, but bizarre, dystopian future, while a man with a bad leg tries to make his way home, and everybody prays to the holy mutant cow in hopes of ending their addiction to candy.  Babies will cry, and monsters will lose their shape no matter how many eyes you have to see them.  In the midst of all this, Jawbone Puppet Theater's potty mouthed biblical scholar will regale you with the tale of "Genesis, Chapter 38," a funny, dirty retelling of one of the weirder bible stories.  Be forewarned:  this show contains scenes of graphic puppet on puppet sex.  Get a babysitter, and leave the kids at home!
