Trouble Puppet Theater Company launches its Resident Artist Program by hosting Caroline Reck, Artistic Director of Glass Half Full Theatre. Reck is spending a month training local puppeteers to perform FupDuck, her adaptation of a novella by Jim Dodge, using puppets she crafted for a performance in Baltimore. In the future, Trouble Puppet will host other puppet artists from around the country and the world, providing workspace, technical support, and performers for workshops of new pieces, experimentation with puppet design and performance, and exploration of ideas.
FupDuck tells the story of Jake, a whiskey-distilling octogenarian who receives custody of his grandson Tiny, who is as gentle as Jake is cantankerous. The household is rounded out by Fup, an ornery twenty-pound duck whose singular presence inspires both chaos and heartfelt wisdom. Jim Dodge’s hilarious contemporary fable of “enormous originality with a giant heart” finds its three-dimensional expression in this production of FupDuck. Witty, raunchy, and full of transcendent charm, this tale will captivate audience members age twelve to one-hundred-and-twelve.
Whiskey makes you immortal. Fences don't keep you safe. You can learn a lot from a duck. The White Ghost Shivers explain it all to you.
