About the Show
Ladies and gentlemen, funky folk and party people, step into the kooky world of A Slice of Crazy Pie, a cabaret-style marionette puppet show that will have you shivering, laughing, and wondering if you had too much to drink. Much like his handlebar mustache, Madison J. Cripps will twirl you and his marionettes around to take you on a journey exploring everything from ecology to the human condition. Meet eccentric characters, visit imaginary locales, and join Madison in considering whether the puppets are really alright. Accompanied by eerie harmonica and interactive hijinks, this raunchy one-man show combines vaudeville-esque showmanship with marionette storytelling in one wild ride you don’t want to miss.
This is Madison’s first time performing a full-length show at Puppet Showplace, and we couldn’t be more excited to have him on our stage!
