Hear ye! Hear ye! King Friday, post-monarch, deposed and living in squalor beneath an old vaudeville house requests thy presence to witness the unveiling of new puppet works and puppet works in progress at an impromptu, after-hours, puppet-roadhouse show.

Mayo Street Arts' semi-annual slam consists of 8-10 puppet skits that dance outside of the family-friendly mainstream puppet circuit, with live music from the Ideal Maine Social Aid & Sanctuary Band.

King Friday’s Dungeon Puppet Slam provides local emerging to present works-in-progress to a receptive audience. Established puppeteers from away enjoy engaging with our local community and often return with full-length performances.

Whether this is your first foray into the dungeon or you’re a veteran of depravity, you’ll be tantalized and tickled by spicy skits and other surprises devised for your viewing pleasure. It’s never the same sprawl twice!

King Friday's Dungeon Puppet Slam is part of the national Puppet Slam Network created by Heather Henson and curated by local Maine puppeteers.
