"Felt Up: An Evening of Socksy Puppets" was a unique one-night-only performance that combined puppets and burlesque, set in a seedy Chicago-style underground nightclub. The show was an entire evening of the hottest and best burlesque and puppetry acts in Colorado. We had stilt walkers, aerialists, shadow stripping, and a number from the classic musical "Avenue Q." The event featured an hour of pre-show entertainment such as magicians, and cigarette girls passing out finger puppets, bringing the extraordinarily detailed set to life. This event was a wonderful collaboration with Denver Arts and Venues and Polka Dottie set at the Denver Performing Arts Center Ballroom.
