Puppet Summit
Short films at Escapist
By Marc Savlov, Fri., July 16, 2004
"They're friends of mine who are former circus performers," explains the Escapist's Julianne Sherrod, "and now they're going on the road with their puppet show, which runs about an hour and is accompanied by their friend Ruben on the Wurlitzer Funmaker Organ."
Ruben who?
"Just Ruben. Like Cher."
Right.
In addition, the troupe will be screening a variety of old 16mm short films from the Thirties, Forties, and Fifties, after which the fantoccini frolics will commence. As always with Escapist events, expect intellectually stimulating chaos and wonderment. And a nice fruit punch.
The Wages of Wishes will be performed Friday, July 16, 8pm, at the Escapist Bookstore (2209 S. First). $5 admission. Register to vote on site! For more info: www.escapistbookstore.com.
