B. Someday Productions

Avg. Event Rating (5.0 Stars): Add Review/Comment

What does it take to be a good person in a corrupt world? Shen Teh, a prostitute is visited by three gods who give her 1,000 silver dollars and charge her with being a good person. Now, she must maintain that goodness, at all costs. But what about Sun, the out of work pilot she falls for? And her best friend, Wang, the corrupt water seller? They all want a piece of the pie as well. Five actors take on 20 different characters with handmade puppets from human-sized to hand-sized. To root this piece in local context, B. Someday will be hosting post-performance talkbacks. On November 11, The Professional Women’s Roundtable will visit. Stacy Richards, President of the Board, and members Liza Herschel and Karen Moustafellos will discuss the challenges that face women in the professional world that exist in this play, such as personal transformation and business ethics. On Thursday, November 12, Brett Mapp of Making A Progressive Philadelphia will talk after the performances about the challenges of philanthropy in a for-profit world.

    I wanted to compliment the entire cast & crew on an incredible production. I thought that Puppets went above and beyond – it felt to me like a performance I would go see at the Wilma or someplace similar. Not that I don’t love the Walking Fish space, but Puppets deserves a larger audience! The stage direction was great – I’m not sure if it was your intention, but I almost forget there were people behind those puppets. And the puppets themselves were so cool – I loved the expressions on some of their faces. Collapse
