Bread & Puppet kicks off its 2024 Summer Season with a new performance, The Whole Kit and Caboodle Show, created by Peter Schumann and company along with a cohort of spring apprentices. The Whole Kit and Caboodle Show runs Sundays June 9th-July 7th at 3 p.m. in the Papier Maché Cathedral at the Bread and Puppet farm, 753 Heights Rd, Glover, VT.
About this show Peter Schumann says, “We, the Whole Kit & Caboodle bread bakers, peace and harmony terrorists and criminal trespassers of the fascist empire offer anti-hospital-bombing calisthenics in the face of the Freedom and Democracy Bullshitters, and precise funeral rites for the collapsing Western Civilization and make our divine paper maché weaponry, as retrieved from the cardboard industry’s available refuse to defeat the capitalist hegemony and celebrate a brand-new humanity with appropriate victory dances and demonstrate our birthright as children of the one and only Mother Dirt, who makes us and unmakes us and now requires our full undivided attention.”
Bread and Puppet’s Cheap Art – books, posters, postcards, pamphlets and banners from the Bread and Puppet Press – will be for sale in the Bread & Puppet Museum Store throughout the event.
