Puppets in the Long Center for Performing Arts

The Puppet Improv Project was asked to perform as part of the entertainment at this years B. Iden Payne Awards. The awards are a program of The Greater Austin Creative Alliance, and are awarded annually to recognize outstanding contributions to the Austin theatre community.

The PIP presented some improvisational singing with members from, "Crack! The Improvised Puppet Musical". The cast included Emily Breedlove, Peter Rodgers, Pat Daniel and Sara Farr who all performed with awards host, Les McGehee. We were the last performers of the show and improvised a "Madrigal" style song using quotes from the awards recipiants acceptance speeches. It was well recieved, and we where honored to be a part of the ceremony.
