Sandglass presents a series of special appearances by stellar artists working in exciting interdisciplinary performance techniques, all of which are somehow related to Puppet Theater. This series celebrates the crossroads of art forms and the connection between puppetry and other art forms like clowning, magic and music.

A light-hearted homage to the style and spirit of the Great Age of Vaudeville
By Happenstance Theater

Happenstance Theater brings old Vaudeville back – an immensely popular theatre from the late 19th and early 20th Centuries made up of specialty acts, song, and dance. Happenstance Theater’s five versatile players breathe new life into classic old routines from a ventriloquist’s dummy to a magic act that goes awry, from novelty songs and a musical saw to waiters juggling meatballs, all with full live “foley” sound effects. This show is teeming with hijinks, harmonies, nostalgic beauty, and physical comedy. Something for everyone and family friendly!


Featuring Happenstance Theater’s Ensemble:
Gwen Grastorf, Mark Jaster, Sabrina Mandell, Sarah Olmsted Thomas, and Alex Vernon.
