A benefit for Bay Area Puppetry Arts (BAPA -more info about BAPA here and below-please consider making a donation!)
The program, in three Acts:
Act 1, Finding Love:
Natalie: A warm Parisian street puppeteer takes off her clothes in her puppet stage where no one can see her, only to find all is revealed after a strong gust of wind. Thus she begins an adventure that eventually leads her back to her puppets and stage (but not her clothes) and to fame and love.
Act 2, Finding Love 2:
Tango for Tarzan: A young woman longs for a life of adventure when she suddenly finds it in the most unlikely place, a natural history museum diorama that magically becomes another world filled with evil, good, and a wild and erotic tango with a handsome ‘Ape Man’ among the rhinos. Our Jane starts out being the victim of life but soon gains full control of her womanhood in a joyous encounter in the jungle.
Act 3, Keeping Love (tips for keeping your partner happy):
Celebrity Kama Sutra: If you have ever read this ancient sex manual you have perhaps scratched your head and said to yourself, “It must be possible if they describe it here, but I’m darned if I can figure it out!” Well, now finally there is help! Let our tiny celebrity volunteers show you step by step how to achieve some of the most advanced and difficult positions using the actual instructions as translated by Sir Richard Burton (the explorer, not the actor.) This program is presented as an educational, public service for the community. To protect the identity of our celebrity volunteers, the demonstration takes place discreetly behind a screen while the audience watches the shadow silhouettes.
This program is a benefit for Bay Area Puppetry Arts
(BAPA), a new organization founded to support puppetry arts in
the S.F. Bay Area. To learn more about BAPA's mission and
activities, click here.
BAPA is currently sponsored by Vallejo Music Theatre, a 501(c)3
non-profit organization. Your tax deductible donations will
greatly help this program and are welcome!

About Victorian Miniature Theatre:
Victorian Miniature Theatre was popular in the mid 1800s as a parlor theatre. Traditionally the theaters are made of paper, with the figures (actors) being a simple form of rod puppet that is controlled either from the side or above. Also known as model theatre, toy theatre, paper theatre, it is today enjoying a renaissance among collectors, re-creationists and professional theatre artists with numerous national and international festivals presenting the art form (Little Blue Moon has been featured thrice at the Preetz Festival (Germany), twice at the Great Small Works Festival (NY), the Mourmelon Festival (France) as well as several National Puppetry Festivals around the country. In 2008 this theatre form was recognized for the first time by UNIMA-USA when Little Blue Moon's productions of "Natalie" and "The Widow" were awarded the highest national honor for excellence in puppet theatre, the UNI Award, founded by Muppet creator Jim Henson.
NOTE: Little Blue Moon Theatre is currently looking for intimate venues in the San Francisco Bay Area for presentation of our unique parlor performances. See email address below to suggest a venue or location.
