It’s a night for the grownups to play at MOA’s first-ever puppet slam. There’s nothing kid-friendly about this gut-splitting night of raunchy and raucous puppets.
What is a puppet slam, you ask? Puppeteers of all stripes perform their acts for an allotted amount of time and are judged by a panel of judges. Audience participation is strongly encouraged. For maximum surprise-factor, the puppet-wielding competitors are only revealed to the audience and to each other at the slam.
The night is hosted by Slam Master, Dusty Hagerüd, Vancouver’s go-to puppet doctor and MOA’s current artist-in-residence. Dusty is MOA’s Artist-in-Residence until September 2019, during which time he’s been creating his fuzzy and fabulous puppets in MOA’s Great Hall.
For (immature) mature audiences only.
Program
6:00 pm Bar and meet the puppets (MOA Cafe Courtyard)
7:00 pm Doors open (Haida House)
