It Came From Under The Tree
A Pickled Puppet Christmas Special!
Fri-Sat nights, Nov 27 to Dec 19, at 7 pm
$12 gen / $5 stu

A bawdy send up our most cherished Christmas fables, starring the puppet cast from “Frankennochio”, “Bloody Henry”, “UFO the Puppet Show”, “Dracula: A Case Study” and various nativity scenes. Featuring Operadisiac, Brian Kooser, Gavin Cummins, and Paul Gude. See a skewering of the first Christmas, a send up of the legend of Black Peter, a slaying of “The Grinch Who Stole Christmas,” a sodding of “A Christmas Carol,” and much more! See this show and face the wrath of Jesus!

“It Came From Under the Tree begins with three drunken, slutty, under-rehearsed elves with surprisingly good singing voices (Operadisiac, says the program, solving that mystery)….Brian Kooser’s puppets are magic.”
— SunBreak

“A multi-part spectacle: perverse retellings of Christmas stories with puppets and entr’acte routines by Operadisiac, three would-be sirens singing carols…fart jokes, cheap shots at biblical inconsistencies, and even a Hitler puppet serving as Herod’s hatchet man…The jokes are cheap, but occasionally land their sucker punches.”
