Fat Nancy and Crisco

The May edition of /Blood From a Turnip/ will feature:

  • Ergot Players from New Bedford-The Ergot players are guerilla theater, manic, tense, and at all times curious.
  • Chloe Paisley from Brown University-Watch Chloe create a puppet show out of mid-air.
  • And the latest installment of The Adventures of Fat Nancy & Crisco- Fat Nancy & Crisco audition for a Musical!
  • Charming and personable musical interludes provided by:Lindsay Adler,  Multi-instrumentalist/Vocalist/Composer, well known for her children's performances as "Mother Nature." Come and fool with "Mother Nature" in this adult-children's version!


/BfaT/, as the salon is called by its die-hard patrons, is the brainchild of Vanessa Gilbert, and Jeremy Woodward.  Since the day /Blood from a Turnip/ began in February of 1997, /BfaT/ has offered professional puppeteers and those new to the art form an opportunity to present big stories, in miniature. Co-curated by Gilbert, and Boston-based, electronic puppeteer Evan O’Television /BFaT/ continues to redefine itself, but refuses to grow up.
