Snafu Shows
All the Spectacles SNAFU has created since 2006, with current shows, prison plays, park plays, dance, clown, puppet theatre, and new shows under construction
The Great Triscuit Heist - SKAMpede
On a grassy knoll, the audience gathers. A clown emerges from below a large blue swath of fabric … the bird pond and coaxes a flock of wild bird-like creatures to enter with dedicated theme music. With help form the audience and a box of treats, the water begins to ripple. The flock begins to dance. The dance becomes more elaborate, more complex, more absurd as the birds play for Triscuit treats.
Suitable Transpo - SKAMpede
A dark and whimsical junk-art puppetry installation reflecting on the cycles of life and death. From a distance, a suitcase-laden bicycle approaches, piloted by puppeteers, musicians, and clowns. The suitcases open up to reveal little homemade worlds, and the puppet show begins.
Not Enough Sunscreen in the World - SKAMpede
Part of Theatre SKAM's outdoor, family-friendly theatre festival: SKAMpede. SNAFU performs as aliens who have just come to Earth.
Atmosphere - SKAMpede
A short and sweet piece of speculative fiction, a quick glance into an alternate reality, a small skip into the future. SNAFU Artists collaborate in designing a “Possible Future”. This short performance is heavily inspired by the space that we choose to perform. It’s wholly atmospheric with an emphasis on a design using recycled materials and obsolete technology. Surreal, hand-crafted puppets merge with the natural environment.
The Goosening - SKAMpede
All business, all the time. A convergence of very, very important people, who have calls to make, deals to break, and to bills to drake.
Table Top Tales
Table Top Tales is an adventure in storytelling, puppetry, and music. Join us as we share stories of family and friends, and the adventures and challenges of growing up. Parents and children will be invited to tell a story from their family lore: funny stories, scary stories, embarrassing stories, silly stories, heart-warming stories, even sad stories. Your stories will be brought to life before your eyes through the magic of puppetry. (Feeling shy? You can also just watch.)
Snack Music
Snack Music weaves together true stories in a way that is hyper-theatrical and immediate--and involves playing with your food. The show is part house-party, part improv, and part highly-choreographed storytelling.
SomethingVille
The space is clean. Perfect. Harmonious. Until we discover a giant living lump - an enormous booger lurking amidst the garbage. Absurd physical comedy set to classical music, inspired by Pixar, Dr Seuss, and Sci-Fi films of the 1970s.
