TONIGHT: COME WATCH THE BLACK MAGIC THAT IS PUPPETRY
Our friends at Puppetyranny (the puppet troupe responsible for creating many of the “living props” on The Moon) have landed in NYC. Their show Beans! Beans! Beans! makes its NYC premiere tonight at Freddy’s Bar 627 5th Avenue between 17th and 18th in Brooklyn, NY. From Puppetyranny:
Beans! Beans! Beans! is a macabre tale, full of tom-foolery and folly. Two dueling dandies vie for social status as they throw an unexpectedly explosive party. Attended by a rag tag ensemble of guests that include unemployed falconers, aeronauts, avant-garde sand painters, a world famous chanteuse, and more. Three performers and two musicians blend animation, puppetry, music, irreverent cardboard abuse, dance parties and lo-fi shenanigans to tell a story that swells with a staggering number of characters, exotic locals, war, intrigue and espionage.
RSVP to Puppetyranny’s Facebook event here.

$5, 8PM

COCOON CENTRAL DANCE TEAM SPRING RECITAL

Our friends and former Moon guests COCOON CENTRAL DANCE TEAM are performing their very first recital! Watch all original dances and videos this Friday, March 30th, 2012 at 7PM at The People’s Improv Theater, and also catch a glimpse of their new pilot.

These ladies give the kind of sincere and spirited performances that we really love to see. Their dances will have you not only laughing but nodding involuntarily and grabbing high-fives before you even realize you’d raised your hand.

From Cocoon’s Website: Remember when you and your cousins made up that dance to Mariah Carey’s “Fantasy” at Courtney’s Quinceañera and Uncle Stanley laughed so hard he choked on his barbecued rib? COCOON CENTRAL DANCE TEAM is exactly like that but it’s 2012.

You can RSVP through this Facebook event or buy tickets through the PIT online box office.

We hope to see you there! Stay tuned to http://TheMoonShow.com for updates, videos, comics and other hot tips like this one!
