Fussy Cloud Puppet Slam will return this October with Volume 32: Neon Nightmares, an evening of bizarre characters and twisted tales, where nothing is quite what it seems. They will present two nights of strange theatrical creations showcasing a wide variety of puppetry styles and storytelling techniques; a fever dream where performers are willing to follow their imaginations wherever they lead. Performances will run Friday, October 16th & Saturday, October 17th.

A rotating lineup of local and touring puppeteers will perform an evening of short-form acts that range from absurd to unsettling to unexpectedly heartfelt. Once again, this bright-lights-fueled nightmare is hosted by our own Goddess of Light: Tootsie Spangles.

The rest of our dream-dates-gone-wrong include:

Shadow Girls Cult

The Salty Licks

Kevin Michael Wesson (Chicago, IL)

Works of Gina's

Clockwork People

Max Farolan & Gwen Roberts

Each Fussy Cloud Puppet Slam is a collection of short-form puppet performances, meaning no two acts are quite alike. One moment you might find yourself caught in a nightmare ballet about a shellfish allergy; the next, watching monsters help a woman find a home; and later seeing a bloody rendition of a Henson classic. Because sometimes the scariest thing isn't what's hiding in the shadows; it's what we've put on the stage.

Nominate your favorite local productions and performers before the deadline on October 31, 2026.
