Full Frontal Püppetry "Once More Into The Blah" at White Lilac
2025-04-25 19:30 - 21:30 (America/Chicago) | The White Lilac, 5029 6th Ave, Kenosha, WI, 53140, United States
A night of unhinged puppet mayhem, zombie choruses, & gloriously inappropriate hilarity! Just what your Friday night needs!
FULL FRONTAL PÜPPETRY isn’t just a puppet show — it’s a full-blown variety fever dream featuring:
-Game shows that make no sense (on purpose)
-Monsters learning to tell really bad jokes
-Zombie backup dancers
-Encouraging swears
-And just the right amount of questionable taste
Imagine if Vaudeville, Bunraku, and a late-night splatter flick had a puppet baby — that’s the chaotic genius of this one-of-a-kind live performance. It’s comedy. It’s commentary. It’s chaos. It’s puppets behaving very badly.
Described as:
“Rides the razors’ edge between extremely brilliant and appallingly juvenile.” “The sort of inspired goofiness that makes theater worth going to.”
Whether you’re a fan of pop culture parodies, offbeat sketch comedy, or simply want to see a monster cuss out a robot while being heckled by the undead — this is the show for you.
Starring a twisted menagerie of monsters, animals, robots, and… whatever that thing is.
WARNING: May contain strong language, puppet gore, corny puns, sexual innuendo, off-key singing, political sass, casual blasphemy, and traces of felt. Rated PG-13 (Because Puppets Don’t Have Parents to Complain)
Don’t miss Full Frontal Püppetry: Once More Into the Blah — it’s weird, it’s wild, it’s what your Friday night’s been missing.Tickets are just $15! Grab ‘em online NOW before they sell out! Limited space!
