HOLIDAY SHOW OPENING THIS WEEKEND!

SparkleBlob’s Flailin’ Wassailin’ Holiday Jubilation is HERE!



They say that history is written by the victors, but in this case, it was written by the puppets. It’s not our fault.
The puppets did it.
We’d also like to add that we have no puppets named Victor.
It is absolutely TRUE that Hans Christian Andersen visited Charles Dickens.

We don’t know much else, but let’s consider that nothing says a holiday story more than: capybaras, The New Yorker, talking candles, Silverlake’s Most Well-Adjusted Family, The Falkland Islands, Oat Nog, Rat Traps, Mr. Nibbles the cat, and saying yes to feelings.

We’ve got you now, right?

Step into a world of enchantment and joy as we invite you to our curious and wonderful Annual Holiday Puppet Show! 🎭✨

HOLIDAYS ON ICING 
A Christmas Cookie Crumble

SparkleBlob comes home to Automata for our 8th annual holiday puppet show musical extravaganza!

PUPPETS/LIVE MUSIC/SINGING/FAMILY/FUN/SNACKS/CRAZY

The magic of Christmas comes alive with pushing and shoving! Join Monica, Tree and Silver Lake’s Most Well-Adjusted Family as they stress to impress for hometown holidays in Los Angeles. LA is known for its cutthroat ways, its secret societies, its titanic forces of darkness surrounding the heartfelt traditions of seasonal baking, shopping, and fighting over the red color of coffee cups. Will our close knit group of ragtag family and friends succumb to the conspiracy?

Will there be warmth, tragedy or drama? Will there be potatoes, hot air balloons, or elves? Yes Virginia, there will be all of those things, and more.
