The Never Rad Miscellany

Great Arizona Puppet Theater (GAPT) will be collaborating with the original audio fiction podcast The Never Rad Miscellany, a sci-fi comedy anthology which will be hosting live monthly performances at GAPT. The show features both recurring stories and one-off sketches done in the style of an old-time radio show. It covers many narratives, including comical space playboys, supernatural neo-noir detectives, innovative new galactic products, wacky starship antics, and more. Co-creator Kat Keller said, “The podcast’s unique blend of comedy, drama, horror, and absurdity has something for everyone.” Tickets are on sale now. You can reserve here or call 602-262-2050. Ages 18+
Imagine This! 2024-2025

"Imagine This" is not your average puppet show! This yearly event is comprised of 14 different stories written by kids, for kids. This is our favorite program to produce each year as it is always different and very exciting. Kenilworth Elementary students write original stories and a panel of judges chooses the best to be made into shows by our professional puppeteers using a variety of puppet styles.
Expect a high energy, creative show filled with some wild antics and originality! Recommended for ages 5 and up.
Tickets must be purchased in advance: reserve here or call 602-262-2050 x 0.
