Lost Coast Puppet Feast
May 27th, 28th, and 29th Petrolia and Eureka CA.

A weekend retreat for puppeteers, puppet watchers, puppet lovers, and
the puppet obsessed. A one-of-a-kind opportunity to see puppet
performances, learn about puppetry, and enjoy great food and camping
in the beautiful Mattole River valley.

See a contemporary adaptation of "Dr. Faustis" in the style of Greek
shadow comedy (with a Humboldt twist). See the world's premier ukulele
playing ventriloquist puppet and his unique form of new vaudeville.
See celebrity puppets in embarrassing situations. See yourself having
a great time. See incredible works of art made out of garbage. Be
ready for some surprises too.
