ISLAND OF MISFITS
by Amy Boyce Holtcamp
directed by Mark Jared Zufelt Thursdays-Sundays @ 8 PM
Three oddball puppeteers - Freddie Douglas, Snowflake Jones and Herbie Pickle - flee the set of the stop-motion Christmas special they are working on to take their own voyage North. Only they aren’t heading for Santa’s Village, they are heading to Canada and unless they get there by Christmas Eve, Freddie’s heading for boot camp. A wild, Yuletide road trip through the turbulent sixties with puppets, police and
peril that asks the question:
Who’s pulling your strings?
"Absurdly hilarious.. intellectually stimulating.. deserves points for both entertainment and originality"
- The Seattle Weekly
“...will have you laughing and aww-ing and oh-ing.. enormously entertaining”
- The Seattle Gay News
“FIlls Hugo House with evil laughter... it’s laugh-out-loud funny!”
- The Seattlest
"Fast, funny, and delightfully fucked up."
- The Stranger
