By Dorothy James & Andy Manjuck, Brooklyn NY
The streamers are hung, the punch has been spiked, and the cake is just begging to be eaten! Now all Bill has to do is wait for his guests to arrive. Bill’s 44th is an original comedic show created by puppeteers Dorothy James & Andy Manjuck to create one very worried leading man – Bill. Many styles of puppetry, raucous balloons, and a cheeky piece of crudité all collide to examine the pitfalls of impatience, the wonder of loneliness, and the universal passage of time.
Bill’s 44th is a full-length (55 minutes) show for adults, touring with 5 people in total.
“
“’Bill’s 44th’ plunges its audience fully into a fantasy that, for all its silliness, leads its hero through stubborn hope and bitter disappointment toward a feeling of comfort in his own skin and an awakening to the world around him.”
– Laura Collins-Hughes, Critics Pick, The New York Times
Made possible through the support from Cheryl Henson and The Jim Henson Foundation.
