TOD & I: An original puppet show by Piehole

Tickets to both shows are $10, available at www.pafringe.com or the Live Arts and Philly Fringe Box Office
One of only two shows in the Fringe that are categorized as puppetry, this mood-driven and atmospheric piece tells the story of a boy’s first encounter with death. Through sound, video, text, rod and shadow puppets, we create a storybook world in which children’s games have hidden meanings. Consider this rave review in the Village Voice of our recent performance at The Brick Theater in Brooklyn.

Fill up your flasks and bust out your tassels: The Vampire Lesbians of Sodom are coming to Philadelphia! From the king (and sometimes queen) of camp comes the hilarious love story of two lusty vamps that love the spotlight, but hate each other. Their bitter rivalry for fame and juicy virgins endures for over 2000 years: from ancient Sodom, to 1920s Hollywood, to 1980s Las Vegas. In the tradition of Debbie Does Dallas: The Musical, The Rivals: A Drag Comedy and Oedipus Kings: The Drinking Game, join To the Wall Productions as they re-imagine this Off-Broadway hit!
