Felicia Cooper Presents:

Please!

September 25-27, 2025

A New Woyzeck is erected as a pea-eating cam girl for the 21st century using puppetry, projection, and pop music. A high intensity and humorous trip through expressionism and indie sleaze, this performance explores the depths of surveillance, power and who holds it.

Cellula

Step into the glow of Cellula, a joyous performance of one fact of life we all have in common: cell division!

Cellula illuminates the true marvels of cell science inside us all with dazzling blacklight puppetry by Shari Aronson and Chris Griffith of the award winning Z Puppets Rosenschnoz, with live a cappella music by acclaimed improvisational vocalists Mankwe Ndosi and Libby Turner.

Directed by renowned puppetry artist Kurt Hunter, Cellula fuses a unique style of playful naturalism with scientific beauty — like a bedtime story as told by biologists.
