What is Potpourri?
It is a showcase of various puppet styles, themes, and content, and an eclectic melange of puppeteer skill levels .
It is an uncensored, unvetted, unauthorized collection of short puppet skits that might be full (but short) stories or might be part of a puppeteer's work-in-progress.
It is open to everyone.
It's open [puppet] mic night, hosted by DREWBOB!
Newcomer FAQ's:
Q: "What if I've only performed this really awesome little skit for my cats?"
A: Potpourri is a good place to take the next step.
Q: "What if I'm not sure if it's good enough?"
A: You'll only find out by performing it for a live audience. And you might get more input than the cats give.
Q: Do I need to send a video of the work to get accepted?
A: NOPE.
But, you do need to sign up, and there are limited slots.
PPP (Potential Potpourri Participants) Code of Conduct
- No fancy lighting, sound, staging requests, please (simple=better). But do provide technical requirements/wishes/dreams/fantasies. We are operating under the "Doing the Best We Can" Code.
- Provide TITLE if you have one.
- Provide TYPE of puppetry to be used.
- Provide your NAME/GROUP and a sentence-long bio about yourself.
At Potpourri, we run the gamut*, we sweep the range, we ride the spectrum. Don't pass by this opportunity to participate.
Or just come to watch the others participate. That's fun too.
This is serious work.
*Not to be confused with "running the gauntlet," overall.
