I have nothing to do with the show, other than passing the info along. I have not seen this particular show, but I have seen some of his performances. Creative, different, and I don't fully understand them all, but they are usually entertaining. For those who may be interested, Blair Thomas will be coming to the Baltimore, MD area on June 12. This is not you grandchildren's puppet show, but if you are interested in something different, check this out. Christopher H Blair Thomas: Cabaret of Desire World Class Touring Puppet Theater! Thu Jun 12 8pm $15, $12 mbrs In this gorgeous, hallucinatory show, Buster Keaton flickers on the curtains of an imaginary cabaret, framed by a functioning hurdy-gurdy sculpture of tubas and bicycle parts controlled by the puppeteer with foot pedals. Based on the play/poem Buster Keaton's Stroll, by surrealist poet Federico Garcia Lorca, this production is a comedy of failures chronicling one man's pursuit of love and affection amidst the alienation of a big city. Based in Chicago and coming off a year-long residency at UMD College Park, Thomas was co-founder of Redmoon Theater, where he established his reputation for stunning, original visual theater.
