Bread and Puppet presents: The Whole Kit and Caboodle Show
2024-08-18 15:00 - 16:00 (America/New_York) | Bread and Puppet Theater, 753 Heights Rd, Montreal, Vermont, Glover, United States
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.
Tickets for this and other summer shows are $10 each. We ask that you purchase tickets ahead of time. However, it’s central to our philosophy that our performances are as accessible as possible and no one will be turned away for lack of funds. Admission by cash donation for kids 6 and under. You can purchase tickets on our website at https://breadandpuppet.org/book-tickets-for-upcoming-shows
The Whole Kit and Caboodle Show plays Sunday afternoons June 9th through July 7th at 3 p.m.. The Principle of Hope Circus plays at 3 p.m. (sideshows at 2 p.m.) every Saturday and Sunday July 13th through August 31st. All shows at the Bread & Puppet Farm, 753 Heights Rd/Rt. 122 in Glover, VT.

Bread & Puppet Theater Presents: The Beginning After the End of Humanity Circus and Gaza Grey Lady Cantata
2024-08-18 15:00 - 17:30 (America/New_York) | Bread and Puppet Theater, 753 Heights Rd, Montreal, Vermont, Glover, United States
Bread & Puppet presents The Beginning After the End of Humanity Circus, a brand new show in the tradition of the iconic Bread & Puppet circuses that began at Goddard College in Plainfield, Vermont in 1970. As usual, the show will draw on traditional circus tropes and familiar Bread and Puppet iconography to draw attention to the urgent issues of the day. Stilt dancers, paper maché beasts of all sizes and a riotous brass band will make a raucous, colorful spectacle of protest and celebration.
This year The Beginning After the End of Humanity Circus will be performed in our outdoor amphitheater each Saturday and Sunday.
The Saturday circus will be followed by a performance of Gaza Gray Lady Cantata. Each Saturday, July 13th – August 31st at 3pm.
The Sunday circus will be followed by our traditional, large-scale outdoor pageant, a giant spectacle in the surrounding landscape. Each Sunday, July 14th through August 25th at 3pm.
*Please come early to allow time for parking and to enjoy side shows, beginning at 2pm.
All shows at The Bread & Puppet Theater, 753 Heights Rd. Glover, VT
Tickets for all summer shows are $10 each. Each ticket is for all performances on a given day. We ask that you purchase tickets ahead of time. However, it’s central to our philosophy that our performances are as accessible as possible and no one will be turned away for lack of funds. Admission by cash donation for kids 6 and under. You can purchase tickets on our website at: https://breadandpuppet.org/book-tickets-for-upcoming-shows
Cheap Art: On all performance days 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 and in the Circus Field.
A bit more about our shows: Bread & Puppet’s founder and director, Peter Schumann, describes The Beginning After The End of Humanity Circus: “After the appropriate death dances for the burial of the empire-of-horror and it’s horrified humanity and after the screaming-trees-choir teaches earthlings how to scream against the daily atrocities, the new underneath-all-of-this humanity emerges from under the rubble, whose voices must make the new language that the new humanity needs.”
In the late 60’s through the mid 1970’s, Peter Schumann created a series of shows in response to the Vietnam war called “The Gray Lady Cantatas”. The shows featured the iconic gray lady puppets moving through vignettes both dreamlike and brutal. This new version, Gaza Gray Lady Cantata, was created and co-directed this spring by father-daughter team Peter and Maria Schumann. It uses texts from Palestinians living through the war in Gaza, and, like the older versions of the show, is a meditation on grief, war, and resistance.
