A series of puppet stage adaptations from Brett Crandall presenting positive, queer representation in stories, old and new. MURDER AT THE WOLF HOTEL by Brett Crandall (October) Meet Detective Ransom DePew, a bumbling private eye assigned to solve a murder in Ellinwood, KS in the age of flappers and Prohibition. The suspects (played by volunteers from the audience) have more to hide than meets the eye, but it’ll take some smooth sleuthing skills to ensure the killer is caught before they strike again. (1920s or Western attire encouraged) THE TRIALS OF DAVID: A QUEER, BIBLICAL, PUPPET PLAY by Brett Crandall (November, no performance Nov 1) This staging of David and Goliath portrays David as a humble shepherd and musician that falls in love with the charming Prince Jonathan. But David must take action when his soldier brothers (played my volunteers) are threatened by the giant, Goliath of Gath.
