The Foundry hosts Bread and Puppet Theater tonight!

The Foundry hosts Bread and Puppet Theater tonight!
Bread and Puppet Theater is visiting Buffalo tonight, and those lucky enough to catch the theater company's Giant Puppet Circus  (Circus of the Possibilitarians) are sure to be delighted with the magical one-night special performance. To top it off, the show is being held at The Foundry, located at 298 Northampton Street in Buffalo. The Foundry has become an inspirational community gathering place, where people come to celebrate everything from artistic performances to artisan collaboration. The Foundry "provides affordable work spaces for artisans and a creative learning environment for do'ers, innovators, and action seekers."

Buffalo is extremely fortunate to have Bread and Puppet making a stop-over while on tour. Linda Elbow, Tour Manager, stated, "Buffalo is a city we have been hoping to visit for some time, we are eager to perform, and immerse the community in our work." The theater company got its start back in the 60s in order to create a political voice to end the Vietnam War. Since that time Bread and Puppet has become a mainstay in the world of puppeteering, traveling the globe in order to spread the company's message through "political music, art, puppetry, and pageantry."

Tonight, October 17, beginning at 7 pm, at The Foundry, located at 298 Northampton Street in Buffalo, the Bread and Puppet Theater will be in town for a one night special performance. The presentation is free and open to all.

I have been following Bread and Puppet since last year and I must say that I was really captivated by their magical performances. It's just too bad that I saw this article too late and I missed their live show. I hope that they make it to our town sometime soon.

I was able to watch the show and even though I was late it didn't have any consequences on the level of enjoyment I have experienced. It was indeed a lucky break for Buffalo to be the host for Bread and Puppet and the people there are very ecstatic after the show. I wonder if they will be doing it again soon this year.

I think Ms. Linda Elbow played a key role in helping this show to be a success that it was and I commend her for doing an excellent job. It is likely that other cities will be watching out for Bread and Puppet once they get scheduled to perform there. I myself can't wait to see them here in San Antonio.

This is the best avenue for artist like me to collaborate with others in the industry and display our talents. Not many people can appreciate our work, but through this, we can go to the right places and get support for the things we do. I am looking forward to the coming activities of Bread and Pupper next month.

This show is highly recommended for families who want to spend quality time with each other. You will definitely have fun all night and learn so much after watching this show. The food and drinks are also something worth noticing.

I am really thankful to the staff and organizers of the B & P theater for giving a chance to my daughter to watch backstage as the play happens. She has been a fan of your show ever since its inception and you don't know how happy you made her. Looking forward to your coming shows in June.

My children have always loved watching Bread and Puppet no matter what time of year they visit our town. We always buy tickets in advance to get a lower rate and lots of freebies. Even I myself have had a lot of fun with the antics portrayed by the actors and actresses.
