About the Show:

What if a fuzzy hand puppet could make you face your own humanity and reconcile with a tragic and horrific past? Mr. Vernon Watercress cordially invites you — yes, you — to an evening of some old-fashioned sass with class, with a splash of sung standards. It wouldn’t be fun if we just told you exactly who’s coming and what’s going to happen… But, rest assured, nothing — and we mean nothing! — will interrupt our performance, not even fascist religious types! Expect a night of jazz standards, Broadway numbers, and a few existential questions about who we are and where we’re going — all wrapped up in one unforgettable evening. 

“Award-winning loudmouth” and “bipolar roller” Nate Puppets uses foam, fur, and hot glue to assemble their deranged yet vividly compelling cast of characters, casting light on the human condition while cruising through experiences with mental health diagnoses, disability, and pure unadulterated creative mayhem.
