The Cautionary Tale of Barry Von Peabody and the Scarlet St Theatre

April 10 – April 29

Hidden behind the lush velvet curtains of the Scarlet St Theatre, a miniature world of puppets play out a curious tale of unrequited love, ambition, revenge and redemption.  Discover the secrets of Barry Von Peabody, relish in the performance of cult-hero-slam-poet Humple, be tantalized by Eliza Swans’ erotic act and be terrified by the death-defying magician Brian Boswell.  There are also whales, arson, escapes from Nazi Germany, love, death, ticker tape parades and more.  Hilarious and tragic, side-splitting and surprising, The Cautionary Tale of Barry Von Peabody and the Scarlet St Theatre is epic in the miniature, unique and amazing.  It has to be experienced to be believed.  You really will see nothing else like it this comedy festival!

Only 15 seats available per show so book early and dress warmly.

Performed & created by the award-winning puppeteer Jacob Williams
Sound design by Steph O’Hara (The Blue Grassy Knoll)
