FringeAL FRESCO 2012 SHOW

The Occupy Wall Street Puppetry Guild presents:

Jack and the Corporate Beanstalk

It tells the story of Jack, an unemployed member of the 99% who fights his way to the top of the corporate beanstalk only to realize his only true power as a worker is to organize! It's audience-participatory, it has music, facts about labor history and the current economic crisis, and the audience gets to choose how it ends. It's big and fun in the name of social justice!

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING

By William Shakespeare - abridged by Kelly Johnston

Four actors, a trunk of props and a ladder. All in one hour, all outdoors.

Much Ado About Nothing. Hold onto your tights, ladies and gents... this ain't your grandma's Shakespeare.
