“A La Carte: In A Fool’s Kitchen”

Saturday, October 3rd at 7:00pm Tickets $10 adults, $6 children Recommended for ages 3 and up.

“A La Carte” is a comic battle between a faux French Chef and a wily lobster set to live accordion music. A family-friendly spectacle, “A La Carte” is a playfully interactive comedy featuring clowning, puppetry, music and a few unruly vegetables.

“A La Carte” begins as the Chef sets the table for the Grand Opening of his 2-seat café. Before the Chef can dazzle his very important guests, dinner’s main ingredient stages a rebellion — again and again and again. Who knew crustaceans could cook up such delicious mischief?

“The brilliance of its slapstick routines is on par with anything
from the glory days of Laurel and Hardy.” MN Daily

“The Comical Misadventures of Mr. Punch”

Saturday, October 3rd at 10:00 p.m. Tickets $10

When the Baby goes missing, Mr. Punch sets out to the rescue, unleashing mischief and mayhem all the way. Tangling with a crocodile, a policeman and the devil himself, Mr. Punch presents a travesty of manners in which the children must keep the puppets from misbehaving and the Baby triumphs in the end. The Comical Misadventures of Mr. Punch is a madcap call and response hand puppet romp.
