Just as we were packing up the puppets, the 2010 Out Of Bounds Comedy Festival asked "Crack! The Improvised Puppet Musical" to perform. And since we love OOB and Puppet sooooooooooo much, we couldn't say no. So now you have ONE LAST CHANCE to come see this show before we pack it up and tuck it away for a while.

And other thing, our funny friend Erin Molson will be our special guest star!!
